LeBlanc (3-4) mystified Philadelphia on four hits, walking only one and fanning two. He snapped a four-start losing streak with his Monday performance.

Heath Bell collected his 16th save despite allowing two hits and a run in the ninth.

Phillies starter Cole Hamels (5-5) was working on a no-hitter through 6 1/3 innings before surrendering the back-to-back homers. He finished by allowing three hits over eight innings, walking two and striking out six.

The slumping Phils lost for the sixth time in eight games.
