PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies chances of making the playoffs are nearly impossible, but they havent given up on the season. Domonic Brown hit a game-ending RBI single to give Philadelphia a 5-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night. The Phillies scored two runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth for their second come-from-behind win in as many days. They have won four of five to improve to 4-3 under Ryne Sandberg, who became the interim manager when Charlie Manuel was fired last Friday. "Were just out there having lots of fun, feeding off the energy we have in the clubhouse," Brown said. "Were trying to make a statement going into next year." Colorado carried a 4-3 lead into the ninth, but Rafael Betancourt (2-5) blew a save opportunity for the second straight game and the third time in 19 chances. "That was a tough loss," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "The Phillies kept fighting." Jimmy Rollins started the winning rally with a two-out double. He then stole third and scored on Michael Youngs slow roller to third that went for a hit. Young had the game-winning hit off Betancourt in Philadelphias 4-3 win on Wednesday night. "Were deep back in the standings, but five weeks is a ton of time to play good baseball," Young said. "Everybody looks forward to the opportunity to show what they are made of." Betancourt departed after Youngs at-bat with an elbow injury, heading to the dugout after a visit from Weiss and a trainer. The right-hander had lunged for Youngs grounder that went just out of his reach. After the game the team said he sprained his right elbow. Jeff Francis came in and walked Chase Utley before Browns grounder to right scored Young. Brown was mobbed by the Phillies, who took three of four games from the Rockies for just their second series win since the All-Star break. "Theres a sense in the games," Sandberg said, "that good things can happen with the positive energy and the guys pulling for each other." Before its recent winning stretch that began with Sundays victory over the Dodgers, Philadelphia had lost 21 of 25 games. "It was a very difficult stretch," Young said, "but we flat-out knew we were better than that and we look forward to showing that." Cesar Jimenez (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the victory. Wilin Rosario homered for Colorado, which has dropped five of six. The Rockies have won nine of 39 games against Philadelphia since the start of the 2008 season. Darin Ruf homered and Carlos Ruiz had three hits for the Phillies. Colorado rookie Chad Bettis allowed one run and six hits over 5 1-3 innings in his fifth career start. He was in line for his first win before Philadelphias late rally. "The first one is never easy and you can never count the other team out," Bettis said. "I felt real good tonight. Everything was working pretty well. I had better location than my last start. I had the same stuff but my command and location were better." Cody Asche doubled home a run in the second for Philadelphia, but Dexter Fowler had a tying sacrifice fly in the fifth. The Rockies then scored three runs in the sixth on four straight hits, chasing right-hander Kyle Kendrick. Rosario had the big blow, a line drive to left for a three-run shot. It was the third homer in the last four games for Rosario, who extended his hitting streak to 13 games. "Hes been swinging the bat well for a few weeks," Weiss said. "Hes an impact offensive player." The Phillies pulled within one on Rufs two-out, two-run homer off Matt Belisle in the eighth. Kendrick continued his recent struggles. The right-hander avoided his third straight loss, but he gave up four runs and eight hits in five-plus innings, raising his ERA to 8.14 in his last six starts. NOTES: Michael Cuddyer and Troy Tulowitzki each had a pair of hits for the Rockies. ... Ruiz is batting .625 (10 for 16) in his last five games. ... Colorado opens a three-game series at Miami on Friday night, with Rockies RHP Jhoulys Chacin (11-7, 3.24 ERA) opposing RHP Tom Koehler (3-8, 4.66 ERA). ... The Phillies open a three-game set at home versus Arizona on Friday night. LHP Cole Hamels (5-13, 3.61 ERA) gets the ball for the Phillies, with LHP Wade Miley (9-8, 3.56 ERA) going for the Diamondbacks. Luc Robitaille Kings Jersey .

Viewers in the Jets region can watch the game on TSN Jets at 6:30pm ct/7:30pm et. The game is also available on TSN Radio 1290 in Winnipeg. Winnipeg was denied its first ever 3-0 start with Sundays 3-2 setback to Anaheim. Andrew Ladd scored both of the Jets goals, while Black Wheeler picked up two assists. Ondrej Pavelec made 30 saves. "I had very few players that were good in the game," Winnipeg head coach Claude Noel said. "I thought Pavelec was our best player by far." The Jets will play their second road contest of the season before starting a six-game homestand on Friday. Winnipeg forward Devin Setoguchi will make his return trip to Minnesota after spending his previous two seasons with the Wild. He logged 32 goals and 63 points in 117 games with Minnesota before getting dealt to the Jets on July 5 for a 2014 second-round pick. "At the end of the day, its not about me personally going back there. Its about our team going to Minnesota and trying to get the win," said Setoguchi, who has two goals and an assist in three games with the Jets. "For me its going to be a little weird going back and playing against some old friends, but its strictly business. We need to go in there and try and win a hockey game." The Jets franchise has won four straight and five of its last six meetings with the Wild, sweeping the two-game set in 2011-112.dddddddddddd Winnipeg and Minnesota will meet for the first time as division rivals, with the Jets shifting to the Western Conference and Central Division under realignment. The Wild also changed divisions having previously been in the since-disbanded Northwest Division. Pavelec has won both of his previous meetings with the Wild, posting a 1.00 goals against average and .971 save percentage after giving up just two goals on 68 shots faced. The Wild make another attempt at their first victory of the season without their No. 1 goaltender. Niklas Backstrom was hurt in Tuesdays 3-2 loss to Nashville, suffering a right knee sprain in the first period. He had allowed two goals on five shots before the Predators Eric Nystrom was hauled down from behind by defenseman Keith Ballard, with both skaters skidding through the crease and into Backstrom. Josh Harding came on in relief and the first action he saw was Nystroms penalty shot. He was unable to come up with the save on the eventual game- winner. "You have to be ready. You have to know, going into every game, that theres a chance you could play in it. I should be ready for whatever happens during the game," said Harding, who ended with 19 saves. Zach Parise and Jared Spurgeon scored for the Wild, who had lost a pair of post-regulation home games before the setback to the Predators. They are off to their worst start since beginning the 2000-01 season, the Wilds first in the NHL, 0-4 with a tie. "Weve got to find a way to win," Ballard said. Harding will get the start tonight and has never faced the Jets, while there is a chance Backstrom could serve as the backup. wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap soccer jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china ' ' '
