Ramon Ortiz (1-1) collected the victory even though he surrendered four runs on 10 hits in just five innings. Danny Graves picked up the save despite putting two runners on in the ninth.

Bobby Abreu homered for Philadelphia, the fifth straight game he has done so. That ties a club record first set by Dick Allen in 1969 and equaled by Mike Schmidt in 1979.
