Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Raul Ibanez came in to score on Milwaukee pitcher LaTroy Hawkins' 10th-inning error Saturday and Philadelphia came away with a 3-2 win over the Brewers.
Ibanez stroked a lead-off double off Hawkins (1-1) in the 10th. Carlos Ruiz followed with a bunt toward third base that Hawkins fielded but threw wildly to first, allowing Ibanez to trot home with the go-ahead run.
Ryan Madson nailed down his 30th save despite allowing a pair of walks in the bottom of the 10th, and the National League East-leading Phillies clinched their four-game series against the Brewers with their third straight win.
The victory went to Michael Stutes (6-1) after Phillies starter Cliff Lee held the Brewers to two runs (one earned) on six hits over seven frames.
Placido Polanco and Hunter Pence each socked solo homers for Philadelphia.
Randy Wolf started and allowed two runs on nine hits through seven innings for the Brewers, who lost their fifth straight overall and saw the National League Central lead over second-place St. Louis shrink to six games.
Casey McGehee and Yuniesky Betancourt drove in runs for Milwaukee.
