Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
CHICAGO, July 19 (UPI) -- A two-run double by Michael Martinez Tuesday capped the Philadelphia Phillies' 4-2 comeback win over the Chicago Cubs.
The Phillies had tied the contest in the eighth inning on Chase Utley's two-run double.
Cliff Lee went six inning for the Phils but was not involved in the decision. The win went to Michael Stutes, who allowed two hits and struck out three in two innings.
Antonio Bastardo set the Cubs down in order in the ninth for his seventh save.
Sean Marshall (5-4) was tagged with a blown save for giving up Utley's game-tying hit. He ended up with the loss after surrendering a two-out single in the ninth to pinch-hitter Ben Francisco.
After Jimmy Rollins singled to move Francisco to second, Martinez blooped a double to right to drive in Francisco and Rollins.
