SAN DIEGO, June 3 (UPI) -- Raul Ibanez drove in five runs on his 37th birthday Tuesday in boosting the Philadelphia Phillies past the San Diego Padres 10-5.

Ibanez had a pair of two-run home runs for Phillies, who won their major league-leading 18th game on the road and 30th of the season.

Antonio Bastardo (1-0) won in his first major league start by holding the Padres to four hits and one run over six innings. Jake Peavy (5-6) lasted just one inning and left with an upper respiratory ailment after being roughed up for four runs on three hits and two walks.

Ryan Howard keyed the four-run Phillies first with a double that brought in two runs.

After Ibanez hit his first home run in the third, the Phillies added a single run in the fourth and another in the fifth on Greg Dobbs's homer to make it 8-0.

San Diego got on the board in the sixth when Adrian Gonzalez hit a solo shot, his 22nd homer this season.

Ibanez made it 10-1 in the seventh with his second homer.

The Padres rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh off Chan Ho Park on an RBI single by Edgar Gonzalez, a bases-loaded walk by Adrian Gonzalez and a two-run single by Chase Headley.
