PHILADELPHIA, May 8 (UPI) -- Jayson Werth, Chris Coste and Chase Utley all homered Friday and the Philadelphia Phillies brought Cole Hamels his first win of the season -- 10-6 over Atlanta.
Hamels (1-2) allowed three hits and two runs over six innings while striking out seven, ending a series of fluke incidents that kept him from winning a game.
After being hit hard in his first two starts, he was struck in the left shoulder by a line drive in Milwaukee April 23 and had to leave the game in the fourth inning. He threw 4 1/3 shutout innings against Washington in his next start, but suffered a minor ankle sprain while fielding a grounder and was taken out as a precaution.
Werth hit a two-run homer in the third to give the Phillies a 6-0 lead, Coste hit a solo shot in the fourth and Utley had a bases-empty blast in the fifth.
Jo-Jo Reyes (0-2) took the loss, giving up four earned runs on five hits over five innings.
Casey Kotchman hit a three-run homer for Atlanta in the ninth.
Philadelphia stopped a two-game slide and Atlanta had a two-game winning streak snapped.
