Denver, Oct. 12: Closer Brad Lidge stranded two but got the Philadelphia Phillies' 6-5 win Sunday over the Colorado Rockies in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.

In the top of the ninth, Ryan Howard drove in Jimmy Rollins, representing the go-ahead run, with a sacrifice fly. Carlos Ruiz knocked in two runs, while Chase Utley homered and scored twice for the defending World Series champions.

Denver, Oct. 1: Todd Helton hit a two-run homer to give Colorado the lead Wednesday and the Rockies moved to the brink of a playoff berth with a 10-6 win over Milwaukee.
