Matt Stairs' late blast lifts Philadelphia Phillies over Colorado


Matt Stairs hit a two-run pinch hit home run in the ninth inning to lift Philadelphia to a 7-5 victory over Colorado to win their second straight game.

The Phillies' Chan Ho Park had an inauspicious first start as he he have up five runs in the first two innings. The bullpen held the Rockies in check the rest of the way as the offense chipped away at a 5-1 deficit.

Chase Utley tied the score 5-5 with a two-run blast, setting the stage for Stairs' heroics. Brad Lidge came on to pitch a scoreless ninth to earn his second save.
