Rockies rally past Phillies, 4-2

? Todd Jones’ first appearance in Philadelphia ended with him getting booed off the mound.

Vinny Castilla’s tiebreaking, two-run double off Jones with two outs in the eighth inning led the Colorado Rockies past the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2, on Monday night.

The Phillies fell six games behind NL East-leading Atlanta in their first home game since starting a 13-game road trip just a half-game back of the Braves. Philadelphia trails Chicago by 31/2 games in the wild-card race.

“It’s definitely not my dream Philly entrance,” said Jones, who allowed three runs in the eighth in his worst outing since coming to the Phillies in a trade July 30. “It’s a good baseball town. They expect a lot, and I expect a lot. I’ve been around long enough to know when I stunk.”

Before the game, Philadelphia bolstered its ailing rotation, acquiring right-hander Cory Lidle from Cincinnati for two minor leaguers and a player to be named.

But the Phillies also learned slugger Pat Burrell would have season-ending wrist surgery on Friday.

Colorado, which has the third-worst record in the NL, improved to 3-1 since trading star outfielder Larry Walker to St. Louis.

Castilla is second in the NL with 94 RBIs.

“Vinny came through for us,” Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said.

Luis Gonzalez led off the eighth with a tying homer against Jones (8-3). Aaron Miles singled with one out, and Todd Helton was hit by a pitch one batter later. Castilla then lined a shot off the left-field wall, scoring both runners.

“He had been pitching pretty good,” Phillies manager Larry Bowa said. “He had three good outings for us on the road.”

Jamey Wright gave up two runs and six hits in 62/3 innings in his fourth start since signing with the Rockies last month. Tim Harikkala (5-2) walked one batter in two-thirds of an inning. Steve Reed got two outs in the eighth inning, and Shawn Chacon worked the ninth for his 27th save in 35 chances.

Preston Wilson homered and doubled for the Rockies.

“That’s a quality start for Wright and we got a nice job out of the bullpen,” Hurdle said.

Placido Polanco hit a solo shot for the Phillies, who got another solid outing from Eric Milton.

The left-hander allowed one run and three hits, striking out eight and walking two in seven innings. He is 12-2, but hasn’t had a decision in six of seven starts since beating Baltimore on July 4.
