Raul Ibanez belted a two-run homer, drove in three and scored three times as the defending World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies scored eight runs in the seventh inning, four on bases- loaded walks, to edge the Atlanta Braves, 12-11, recording their first win of the season.
Chase Utley had two hits, including a double and two RBI, while Ryan Howard added a two-base hit drove in one and scored two for the Phillies, who received their 2008 championship rings in a pregame ceremony.
Shane Victorino had a two-hit game with a triple and an RBI, and Pedro Feliz chipped in with a double and knocked in a run in the win.
"I don't remember the last time we scored runs like that," Victorino said. "The way we did it today, if this team can find a way to do it like that we'll be fun to watch. To get our rings today and to go out, get down 9-3 and to come back and win a game like that is fun."
Joe Blanton started and was tagged for seven runs on nine hits with six strikeouts and two walks in four innings for Philadelphia. Clay Condrey (1-0) earned the win after tossing only one-third of an inning in the seventh. Brad Lidge recorded his first save of the season after not blowing an opportunity all of 2008.
