PHILADELPHIA — Jamie Moyer had a quality start — out of the bullpen.

Moyer pitched six scoreless innings in relief of Pedro Martinez, who took his spot in the starting rotation, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-1, last night.

A 66-minute rain delay ruined Martinez's home debut with the Phillies. The three-time Cy Young Award winner allowed one run in three innings in his second start since returning to the majors. Martinez struck out three and retired the last eight batters he faced, but left after the long delay.

"It was a fun night," Martinez said. "You never know what you're going to get when you put two old goats out there. I enjoyed it."

Pitching in a steady rain, Moyer (11-9) gave up two singles and struck out five in his first relief appearance in five years. He also chipped in with two hits. The 46-year-old left-hander was upset last week when he was demoted to the bullpen to make room for Martinez.

"I went out and did what I set forth to do, got them to put the ball in play and relied on my defense," Moyer said.

Jayson Werth hit his career-best 25th homer and Carlos Ruiz also connected, helping the NL East-leading Phillies win for the sixth time in seven games.

Diamondbacks starter Jon Garland (6-11) allowed five runs and 11 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

"That's a good hitting team," Garland said. "They're going to do some damage and they did."

A crowd of 45,186 gave the defending World Series champion Phillies a team-record 51 sellouts in only 59 home games. Many came out to cheer Martinez, who used to hear the typical boos when he pitched for the New York Mets.

"They were saying, 'Go get 'em Pedro,' " Martinez said. "It was nice."
