DENVER, Aug. 2 (UPI) -- Shane Victorino belted a go-ahead, solo homer in the 10th inning Monday, capping a comeback that sent the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-3 victory over Colorado.

Trailing 3-1 in the ninth and facing Rockies closer Huston Street, the Phillies rallied for a pair of runs to force an extra frame when Carlos Ruiz hit a two-out double and John Mayberry followed by slamming a pinch-hit, two-run homer.

In the 10th, Victorino went to a 3-2 count against Rex Brothers (1-2) before launching a line drive homer to left, handing Philadelphia the lead.

Anthony Bastardo (5-0) earned the win with a scoreless ninth and Ryan Madson picked up his 19th save for the NL East-leading Phillies, who won their fourth straight.

Colorado starter Jhoulys Chacin ended with a no-decision after tossing seven strong innings, yielding only one run on six hits.

Seth Smith knocked a two-run homer and Chris Iannetta added a solo shot for the Rockies.
