MILWAUKEE, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Jimmy Rollins had three hits Sunday, including a solo homer, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-5 win over Milwaukee.

The homer, Rollins' 21st this season, was a leadoff blast against losing pitcher Dave Bush (5-9) in the top of the first.

Shane Victorino hit a two-run second-inning double, Pedro Feliz hit a two-run fifth-inning single, Ryan Howard had two hits and one RBI, and Chase Utley added two hits for the Phillies, who reduced their magic number for clinching the NL East to three with seven games left in the regular season.

Winner Joe Blanton surrendered five runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Ryan Madson earned his ninth save.

Milwaukee's Mat Gamel hit a three-run homer, Mike Cameron hit a solo shot, and Ryan Braun had three hits and one RBI for the Brewers, who have split their last six games.
