MLB: Philadelphia 9, Cincinnati 6

Philadelphia defeated the Reds for the second straight night, overcoming an early three-run deficit and finally taking the lead for good with a four-run fifth inning. Utley's home run, his 20th of the season, came in the third inning and Philadelphia tied the game in the fourth on a two-run single by Shane Victorino -- who was named Thursday to the final spot on the NL All-Star roster.

After the Reds regained a 6-4 advantage in the fifth, Philadelphia moved back in front in the bottom half of the inning with four runs off Micah Owings (6-9).

Ryan Howard and Greg Dobbs walked to start the outburst and Pedro Feliz delivered a one-out, RBI single.

Matt Stairs then drew a walk to load the bases, Paul Bako drove in a run with a fielder's choice grounder and Jimmy Rollins singled in the third run of the inning. A wild pitch by reliever Josh Roenicke allowed the fourth run to score.

The division-leading Phillies won for the sixth time in seven games on their current 10-game homestand.

Jamie Moyer (8-6) got the win despite giving up six runs on eight hits in five innings. Brad Lidge collected his 17th save by working the ninth.
