Kendrick allowed just one run over seven innings and Chase Utleyhad four hits, including a solo home run, and three RBI as thePhillies defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 13-3, on Fridaybefore a sold-out crowd at Citizens Bank Park.


Kendrick (4-0), who five weeks ago was 4-7 at Class AA Reading,remained perfect in the majors after scattering six hits andstriking out four. He has pitched at least six innings in allsix of his starts, with the Phillies posting a 5-1 record inthose games.


Jimmy Rollins homered as part of a three-hit, three-RBIperformance that helped Philadelphia post a season high in hits(23) and tie a season high in runs (13).


All nine starters reached base safely for the Phillies and eighthad at least one hit. Greg Dobbs tied a career-high with fourhits, while Ryan Howard and Aaron Rowand each had three.

The first seven batters reached base safely in the opening frameon six hits and an error as the Phillies jumped out to a 5-0lead. Even Kendrick (two hits) got in on the action, driving atwo-out single up the middle for his first major league RBI. Healso lofted a sacrifice fly in the fourth.


Kip Wells (3-12), who came into the game with a 5-0 record and1.33 ERA against Philadelphia, was shelled in his first startafter being demoted to the bullpen in late June.


The major league leader in losses, Wells had his shortest outingof the season, allowing six runs - four earned - in one-plusinning.


Albert Pujols homered in the eighth off reliever J.C. Romero tosnap a career-high streak of 77-at bats without a long ball.Chris Duncan and Skip Schumaker each had two hits for St. Louis.
