MIAMI, July 16 (UPI) -- Jamie Moyer retired the first 12 men he faced Thursday and teamed with two relievers on a one-hitter in carrying Philadelphia to a 4-0 win over Florida.
The Phillies extended the longest current winning streak in the majors to six games and increased their lead over second-place Florida to five games in the National League East.
The only hit surrendered by Moyer (9-6) was a leadoff single in the fifth by Jorge Cantu. Moyer also walked Ronny Paulino in that inning, but escaped the jam and Florida did not manage a base runner the rest of the game.
Ryan Madson and J.C. Romero each worked an inning of perfect relief.
All of the Philadelphia runs came on homers, two of them by Raul Ibanez.
Ibanez hit a two-run shot in the second and a solo blast in the fourth, boosting his total for the year to 24. Ryan Howard contributed his 23rd of the season in the sixth.
Chris Volstad (6-9) took the loss, giving up all four runs on seven hits over six innings.
Philadelphia went 9-1 on a homestand that concluded at the All-Star break.
