DENVER -- Giancarlo Stanton may never want to leave Coors Field. . The Colorado Rockies cant wait to say goodbye to the Miami slugger. Stanton homered in his fifth straight game in Denver, Jose Reyes also homered and the Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5 on Friday night. Wade LeBlanc won for the first time as a starter and John Buck and Gorkys Hernandez had two hits each for the Marlins, who won for just the third time in their last 10 games. "Any time you can get out of this place with a win its a good night," LeBlanc said. "Its a tough place to pitch." Stanton has proven in his short career at Coors Field its not a tough place to hit. His home run was his fifth in as many games he has played at the park, tying Jeff Kent for the most games in a row with a homer by a visiting player. Does Stanton, who plays at spacious Marlins Park, wonder what kind of numbers he could put up playing half his games in Denver? "Yeah, I could," he said. "You can use your imagination." Blasts like the one he hit Friday give a hint as to what he could do in the thin air. Stanton crushed the ball and estimated 474 feet, which is the longest at Coors Field this season. "Its the farthest one Ive hit up here," he said. "When you play in a park like that you dont have to do too much to get it out." Stantons 23rd homer wasnt just long, it keyed Miamis winning rally. He led off the sixth with the blast off reliever Josh Roenicke (4-1) to tie the game at 5-all. "This kid, every time hes at the plate hes in scoring position, especially this park," Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Hes got so much potential, so much power, it doesnt whos in there, you always got the feeling the game can turn around when hes at the plate." Donovan Solano followed with a triple and scored on Bucks double to give the Marlins a 6-5 lead. Wilin Rosario had two hits and two RBIs for the Rockies, who had their four-game winning streak stopped. The Rockies had had the tying run on second in the seventh but Dexter Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez struck out to strand Eric Young Jr. Tyler Colvin lined out softly to end the eighth with runners at the corners. Steve Cishek pitched a perfect ninth to pick up his eighth save. "The chances to tie the game was there," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "We couldnt get the hit we needed to get." While the Marlins were mashing, the Rockies were using small ball to score their runs. Eleven of Colorados 12 hits were singles, with seven coming in the fourth and fifth innings. "They got a lot of jam jobs over second base and ground balls through the five hole or up the middle," Buck said. "Those hits are a lot more manageable than doubles in the gap." The Rockies used those singles to rally twice. In the fourth inning Rosario and Jordan Pacheco had run-scoring singles to give Colorado a 2-1 lead. Reyes gave the Marlins a 4-2 lead with a three-run homer -- his ninth -- off starter Jeff Francis in the top of the fifth. Left fielder Carlos Gonzalez reached over the fence and got his glove on it but couldnt hold it. "It was frustrating because it was in my glove at the end," Gonzalez said. "I barely missed it." The Rockies came right back in their half of the inning to retake the lead on three singles and a groundout. Josh Rutledge drove in the first run with a single to short, Gonzalezs groundout tied it and Rosarios two-out single to centre gave Colorado a 5-4 lead. LeBlanc (2-2) was lifted for a pinch hitter after the fifth. He allowed five runs on nine hits and struck out a pair to get his first win since moving into the rotation on Aug. 1. "I gave back two leads and they gave me a third one," LeBlanc said. The Marlins jumped ahead 1-0 on Carlos Lees RBI double in the first. NOTES: Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said Emilio Bonifacio will play exclusively in the outfield when he returns from the disabled list Sunday. ...

Ty Wigginton hit a sacrifice fly to cap a four-run rally in the ninth inning against Francisco Rodriguez and lift the Phillies to a 7-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night. The last-place Phillies were 0-42 when trailing after eight innings before coming back against Rodriguez, who replaced John Axford as the closer last week. On Sunday, the Phillies beat San Francisco on Jimmy Rollins RBI hit in the 12th inning. "Its huge. We have to build on that momentum," Ryan Howard said. "We need to take that energy and spread it over nine innings." With one out against K-Rod, Rollins walked, Juan Pierre singled and Chase Utley walked to load the bases. Howard ripped an 0-2 pitch up the middle to drive in a pair and cut it to 6-5. Carlos Ruiz followed with a line-drive hit to left-centre to tie it at 6. Hunter Pence walked to load the bases again. Eric Kratz entered to run for Howard. Wigginton followed with a liner to left and Kratz scored easily ahead of Ryan Brauns off-target throw. "Its good to see we can rally," manager Charlie Manuel said. Rodriguez (2-5) has blown five saves in eight tries. "I didnt get it done," Rodriguez said. "Its really painful." Carlos Gomez hit a three-run homer and the Brewers battered two-time Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay Halladay allowed six runs and eight hits in six innings in his second start since returning from a nearly two-month stint on the disabled list. "I feel good," Halladay said. "The results arent what I want. The execution isnt what I want. I definitely have some work to do but I feel 100 times better." Joe Savery (1-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win. It was the first time in 18 tries that the Phillies won a game Savery appeared in. Brewers starter Randy Wolf gave up two runs and five hits in six innings against his former team. The lefty won 16 games and was an All-Star with Philadelphia in 2003. Utley and Howard hit consecutive homers for the last-place Phillies in the first inning. The Phillies didnt have Utley and Howard, their Nos. 3-4 hitters, most of the firsst half. [url=http://www.packersofficialteamstore.com/]Packers Jersey. Utley missed 76 games and Howard 84. "Thats a big part of our offence," Manuel said. Wolf, who once hit two homers in a game for the Phillies in 2004, helped himself with his bat in the fourth. He hit a two-out single up the middle. After Norichika Aoki singled, Gomez launched a towering drive that smacked high off the left-field foul pole to put Milwaukee up 6-2. Brauns RBI single in the third put the Brewers ahead 3-2. Gomez singled, stole second and scored on the hit. The Phillies quickly erased a 2-0 deficit in the first when Utley and Howard went deep. After Shane Victorino struck out trying to check his swing on a pitch that appeared to hit him, Utley connected. Howard followed with a drive that landed in the flower bed just over the left-field fence. The ball bounced back onto the field and Howard stopped at second base. He was credited with a homer after the umpires saw on a video review the ball cleared the wall. Victorino left the game with a bruised right elbow the following inning. The Brewers jumped ahead 2-0 in the first on a RBI double by Aramis Ramirez and Corey Harts run-scoring single. Halladay couldve escaped without allowing any runs, but right fielder Hunter Pence turned the wrong way on the two-out drive by Ramirez and the ball landed at the base of the fence. NOTES: Left field ballgirl Genevieve Haney made the defensive play of the night in the seventh when she snared a hard liner hit by Gomez. Fans cheered her louder than Utley and Howard after their homers. ... The Phillies have hit back-to-back homers four times this season. Utley has been involved three times and he missed the first 76 games. ... Howard was 2 for 17 off Wolf before hitting a homer and double in his first two at-bats. ...
