The Phils managed to win one of three against the Braves this weekend, which was something of a remarkable feat given that they scored just five runs in the three games. The resurgent Ibanez went back into hiding, going 2-for-10 with a pair of singles in the three-game set. Howard, Francisco and Ibanez combined to go 4-for-29 in the series in the middle of the order for the Phils.

Cliff Lee struck out 16 in the first game, but the Phils lost 5-0 because Derek Lowe was even better. Lowe took a no-hitter into the seventh, where the Phils managed their only hits of the game, a single by Victorino and a double by Polanco. That put men on second and third for the Phils with nobody out, but Howard, Francisco and Ibanez all struck out in a row to keep the Phils off the board and down 3-0. Baez allowed a pair of runs in the top of the ninth as Atlanta extended their lead to 5-0.

Kendrick made his first start of the year in game two of the series and pitched well, going five shutout innings as the Phils won 3-0. Kendrick was backed up by four scoreless innings for the pen and Howard connected for a long home run in the fourth inning.

Hamels allowed three runs on a pair of home runs through seven innings last night before a pinch-hit home run by Eric Hinske off of Stutes extended the Atlanta lead to 5-1 in the eighth. Stutes and Mathieson were miserable in the game — they combined to allow two runs on three hits and four walks. The whole thing could have been a whole lot worse, but Baez bailed Mathieson out by getting a big double-play to end the eighth. The Phils managed a run in the bottom of the eighth, but lost the game 5-2.

The Phillies are 22-11 on the year after losing two of three to the Atlanta Braves this weekend.

Hamels got the start for the Phillies and went seven innings, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk. Two of the five hits he allowed went for extra-bases, both home runs. He struck out nine. All three of the runs he allowed in the game came on home runs — after not allowing a home run in his first four starts of the year, he has allowed four in his last four starts.

Martin Prado led off the game with a single to right, but Sardinha threw him out trying to steal second as Jason Heyward struck out swinging to clear the bases. Chipper Jones grounded to third for the third out.

Hamels struck out Brian McCann for the first out of the second and got Dan Uggla on a ball hit to Victorino for the second. Freddie Freeman singled to right and then Alex Gonzalez hit a 2-1 pitch out to left to put Atlanta on top 2-0. Hamels struck Nate McLouth out for the third out.

He struck out pitcher Jair Jurrjens to start the third and got Prado and Heyward on ground balls behind him.

The lead was cut to 2-1 when he set the Braves down in order in the fourth, striking out Chipper and McCann before getting Uggla to pop to Rollins.

Hamels had thrown 53 pitches and struck out six through four innings.

Freeman led off the fifth with a home run to right that put Atlanta up 3-1. Hamels got Gonzalez on a ground out before McLouth reached on an infield single. Jurrjens tried to bunt him to second, but Hamels fielded the bunt and threw to second to start the double-play that set Atlanta down.

Hamels walked Prado to start the sixth, but struck out Heyward and Chipper behind him. McCann popped to Rollins for the third out.

He set Atlanta down in order in the seventh, striking out Uggla for the first out.

Stutes started the eighth and walked McLouth to start the inning. Lefty Eric Hinske hit for the pitcher Eric O’Flaherty and hit a 2-0 pitch out to right, putting Atlanta on top 5-1. Stutes got Prado for the first out, but then walked Heyward. Righty Scott Mathieson, called up when Oswalt hit the DL, came on to pitch to Chipper. Chipper hit a ground ball to third with Heyward forced at second for the second out. McCann moved Jones to second with a single, but Mathieson got Uggla to ground to third to end the frame.

Mathieson was back to start the ninth with the Phils down 5-2. Freeman led off with a single to left and Diory Hernandez bunted him to second with the first out. Mathieson walked McLouth behind him and switch-hitter Brooks Conrad hit for the pitcher Jonny Venters. Mathieson walked him, too, and the bases were loaded. Baez took over for Mathieson and got Prado to hit into a double-play to turn Atlanta away.

Mathieson was terrible in the game and not charged with a run. He allowed two hits and two walks in an inning and was bailed out when Baez induced the double-play. Mathieson threw 24 pitches in the game, Stutes 15 and Baez six.

The Phillies lineup against righty Jair Jurrjens went (1) Rollins (2) Victorino (3) Polanco (4) Howard (5) Francisco (6) Ibanez (7) Valdez (8) Sardinha. Valdez starts at second with the lefty Orr on the bench. Sardinha catches with the lefty Schneider on the bench.

Victorino doubled with one out in the first. Polanco was next and flew to center for the second out with Victorino tagging and moving up to third. Howard grounded to first to leave Victorino at third.

Down 2-0, Valdez doubled to left with two outs in the second, but Sardinha grounded to short behind him.

Rollins singled to right with one out in the third and moved to second when Victorino grounded out behind him. Polanco delivered a two-out hit, singling into center. Rollins scored to cut the lead to 2-1. Howard followed with a walk, but Francisco flew to center to leave both runners stranded.

With two outs in the fourth, Sardinha hit a ball well to left that landed on the track and hit the wall on a hop. Prado played it well to hold Sardinha to a long single. Hamels struck out on three pitches to leave him at first.

Two-out hit by Sardinha keeps Hamels from leading off the fifth. Jurrjens was at 61 pitches through four innings.

Down 3-1, the Phils went in order in the fifth.

Howard started the sixth with a single and Francisco bunted him to second. Ibanez lined a single into center, which moved Howard to third. Valdez hit into a double-play to end the inning.

The sacrifice by Francisco not enough for Howard to score from second on a single after it works.

Schneider hit for Sardinha to start the seventh and flew to right. Orr hit for Hamels and singled to left, but Eric O’Flaherty got Rollins to hit into a double-play behind Orr to end the inning.

The Phils were down 5-1 when they hit in the eighth. Victorino led off with a triple and came into score when Polanco followed with a single that was deflected by the pitcher Venters. 5-2 with nobody out and Polanco on first. Howard grounded to Uggla with Polanco forced at second for the first out. Francisco flew to center for the second before Ibanez moved Howard to second with a single. It brought Valdez to the plate as the tying run and with the lefty Venters on the mound, Mayberry hit for Valdez. Mayberry flew to center to leave the runners stranded.
