CHICAGO, July 23 (UPI) -- Scott Rolen's three-run homer off Kyle Farnsworth with two outs in thetop of the seventh inning Tuesday afternoon snapped a tie as the Philadelphia Phillies ended a five-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
The third baseman showed his power by drilling a 3-2 offering -- the ninth pitch of the at-bat -- into the left-center bleachers against a 20 mile-per-hour wind.
Rolen was more pleased with a foul ball he caught off the bat of Mark Bellhorn for the first out in the ninth.
Dave Coggin (2-2) pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Vicente Padilla to get the win. Jose Mesa recorded the final three outs for his 26th save.
Philadelphia scored six of its seven runs with two outs, evening the four-game series at a win apiece.
"The one thing we do is play 27 outs," Phillies manager Larry Bowa said. "There may be other things that we're a little inconsistent with but we do that."
Philadelphia grabbed a 2-0 lead in a seesaw affair on Bobby Abreu's two-run homer in the top of the first. Fred McGriff answered with a solo homer in the bottom half before Corey Patterson delivered an RBI single in the fourth.
The Phillies grabbed a 3-2 lead in the fifth as Marlon Anderson led off with a walk, moved up on Padilla's sacrifice and came home on Jimmy Rollins' RBI single.
Again the Cubs answered, taking a 4-3 lead in the bottom half on Sammy Sosa's RBI double and Roosevelt Brown's run-scoring single.
But the Phillies staged two-out rallies against Matt Clement (8-7) to score once in the sixth and three times in the seventh.
In the sixth, Mike Lieberthal walked, moved up on Anderson's infield single and scored the tying run when pinch hitter Jeremy Giambi singled to right field.
Clement struck out the first two hitters in the seventh, but hit Pat Burrell just above the left elbow with a 1-2 offering, then gave up a single to Travis Lee.
Farnsworth came on and Rolen worked the count full before homering into the bleachers in left-center field.
