04/10/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Howard belted the go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning, leading the hot-hitting Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-6 decision over the winless Houston Astros.
Shane Victorino also had a two-run homer and three RBI, and Jayson Werth drove in three runs for the Phillies, who have grabbed the opening two contests of this three-game set. It also assured the Phillies of winning a series at Minute Maid Park for the first time since 2006, when they swept a three-game set, September 15-17.
The Phillies have double-digit hits in each of their first five games, tying the club record from 1926. They have 63 hits thus far this season.
It was an up-and-down contest for Phillies starter Jamie Moyer (1-0), who was charged with nine hits and five runs over six innings. The 47-year-old Moyer, who started his 24th major league season, retired the first eight batters he faced before seeing eight straight men reach base in the third when Houston scored five times to grab its first lead of the season.
The Phillies, though, rallied and won for the fourth time, while preventing Houston manager Brad Mills from posting his first victory.
Jason Michaels had a two-run homer and ended with three RBI, while Hunter Pence also drilled a two-run shot for Houston. The Astros are 0-5 for the first time since 1983, when they started the season at 0-9. Houston finished that season 85-77.
Felipe Paulino gave up four hits and four runs over five innings in the start for the Astros.
Brandon Lyon (0-1) retired the first two batters of the seventh inning, but Chase Utley walked. Howard then smashed a 2-1 pitch 434 feet, off the facade beyond the wall in left-center field for his third homer of the season and a 6-5 Phillies lead.
Werth and Raul Ibanez singled to put runners at the corners, and Victorino made it 7-5 with an RBI ground single to right field.
Victorino homered to right with Werth on base in the eighth. The hit came off Matt Lindstrom.
Michaels singled in Michael Bourn in the bottom of the ninth.
Howard's first time up, leading off the second inning, he hit a ball off the wall in left. The ball caromed off the shoulder of Carlos Lee and Howard ended up with a triple. Werth followed with a sacrifice fly to left-center.
The Phillies tacked on three more runs in the next inning. Howard walked on a high and outside pitch with the bases full and two outs. Werth then doubled to left field.
Moyer was cruising until the third when Paulino doubled to start Houston's big parade to the plate. Michaels then homered to left on a first pitch. Jeff Keppinger walked on four pitches and Pence hammered a ball over the wall in left to tie the game. Singles from Lee, Pedro Feliz and Chris Johnson loaded the bases, and Tommy Manzella hit a ball on a short-hop off the glove of third baseman Placido Polanco, giving Houston a 5-4 edge.
Manzella flied out in the fifth, leaving runners at the corners.
Game Notes
Each team had 11 hits...This was the 100th start in a Phillies uniform for Moyer, who became just the eighth starting pitcher in MLB history to start a game in four different decades. The seven previous pitchers to do so were Mike Morgan (1978-2001), Nolan Ryan (1966-1993), Jerry Reuss (1969-1990), Jim Kaat (1959-1982), Early Wynn (1939-1963), Bobo Newsom (1929-1953) and Jack Quinn (1909-1931)...Sunday will mark the battle of the Roys as Roy Halladay pitches for the Phillies against Roy Oswalt...The teams wore uniforms similar to those during the 1965 season...Pence has nine homers and 19 RBI in 19 career games against the Phillies.
