The Phillies trailed the Marlins by three home runs coming into this evening's game, but they hit two to Florida's none as they take the game 4-2. Howard and Jenkins each hit solo shots, and Utley collect two hits and an RBI. The Phillies bullpen continues to pitch well, allowing no runs in three innings of work.

Meanwhile, the Reds get to John Maine for hits, five walks and five runs in 4 2/3 innings of work. That was all the runs the Reds needed as Bronson Arroyo pitched eight strong innings and the Mets winning streak ended 5-2. Maine has now allowed 14 earned runs in his last four starts, lasting a total of 19 innings.

The Phillies regain sole possession of first place, one game ahead of the Mets and 2 1/2 games in front of the Marlins.
