Philadelphia Phillies VS. Colorado Rockies

Recap: Philadelphia vs. Colorado

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - After being no-hit by Josh Beckett on Sunday, the Phillies broke out in a big way against the Rockies on Monday.

Ryan Howard hit a two-run homer and drove in five runs, as Philadelphia racked up 12 hits and got a solid effort from starter Kyle Kendrick to claim a 9-0 victory over Colorado in the opener of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies' offensive outburst helped snap a career-high 10-game losing streak for Kendrick (1-5), who scattered six hits and four walks over 6 2/3 frames to earn his first win since Aug. 11, 2013. The Philadelphia right- hander entered the game 0-10 over his last 16 starts.

Chase Utley collected three hits, an RBI and three runs scored, while John Mayberry added a pinch-hit, two-run homer for the Phillies, who were held hitless in a nine-inning game for the first time since April 16, 1978 in Sunday's 6-0 setback against Beckett and the Dodgers.

"Good bounce back game on the offensive side," Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Good to see Kendrick was solid into the seventh against a good lineup."

Colorado starter Jhoulys Chacin (0-4) surrendered four runs on seven hits over five-plus frames to absorb the loss. Charlie Blackmon and Troy Tulowitzki each had two hits for the Rockies, who have lost four of their last five games.

Ben Revere ripped a leadoff single in the first to erase any thoughts of another no-hitter, but the Phillies' bats fell silent from there until Utley legged out an infield single with two away in the fourth.

Utley then advanced to second on a wild pitch before scoring on Howard's single to right to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead.

Philadelphia tacked on another two-out run in the fifth, as Domonic Brown worked a leadoff walk and Carlos Ruiz singled before Revere followed consecutive strikeouts with a chopper up the middle. Second baseman Josh Rutledge backhanded the chopper, but the speedy Revere used a head-first slide to beat Rutledge's throw to first, allowing Brown to score for a 2-0 lead.

Howard extended the margin in the sixth when he followed Utley's leadoff single with his eighth homer of the season into right-center field.

The Phillies broke the game open with a five-run seventh inning. With runners on the corners and one away, Utley scorched a double to right off Rex Brothers to score Tony Gwynn, Jr., who opened the inning with a walk.

Howard's single to left scored two more runs, and after Marlon Byrd fanned, Mayberry entered as a pinch-hitter and clubbed his second homer of the season deep to left to account for the final margin.
