NEW YORK — Phillies manager Charlie Manuel thought about hitting for Carlos Ruiz in the 11th inning, and ended up sending the catcher to the plate.

Good decision.

Ruiz hit a two-out RBI double and Philadelphia overcame another blown save by Brad Lidge to beat the New York Yankees, 4-3, yesterday.

Jimmy Rollins, Maui's Shane Victorino and Raul Ibanez each drove in a run for Philadelphia.

The Phillies went 8-2 on their three-city, 10-day trip and improved to a major league-best 16-6 on the road.

"We ended the trip well and needed that," Manuel said. "We wish we could've taken yesterday's game too, but they beat us. I like the way that we are playing. We're starting to play better, more consistent baseball."

Clay Condrey (4-0), the Phillies' sixth pitcher, worked two scoreless innings.

Chase Utley got the winning rally started with a two-out walk against Brett Tomko (0-1). Utley stole second before Ruiz lined the ninth pitch of the at-bat down the third-base line.

The Yankees' Melky Cabrera hit a tying single off Lidge in the ninth.

Lidge gave up Alex Rodriguez's tying homer and Cabrera's winning single in the ninth of Philadelphia's 5-4 loss Saturday.

ANGELS 10, DODGERS 7:

Torii Hunter drove in three runs after a frightening collision with the center-field fence, and the visiting Angels won the rubber game of the Freeway Series. Hunter gave the Angels a scare in the fourth when he raced back on a drive by Matt Kemp and caught the ball over his head while slamming into the padded wall.

ROYALS 3, CARDINALS 2:

Brian Bannister worked six strong innings and drove in a run and pinch-hitter Mike Jacobs' RBI single snapped a seventh-inning tie, helping visiting Kansas City avoid a three-game sweep. The Royals ended a 24-inning scoreless drought and finally got to St. Louis pitching, which shut them out 5-0 each of the first two games.

REDS 4, INDIANS 3:

Alex Gonzalez doubled home the winning run with one out in the 11th inning and host Cincinnati won the all-Ohio series. Ramon Hernandez led off the Reds' 11th with a single against Luis Vizcaino (1-2), and pinch-runner Paul Janish moved up on Adam Rosales' sacrifice. Gonzalez followed by lining a pitch over center fielder Grady Sizemore.

PIRATES 4, WHITE SOX 3:

Jack Wilson hit a tying homer off Bobby Jenks (0-2) with two outs in the ninth inning, then Delwyn Young got the go-ahead RBI single as visiting Pittsburgh finally scored against Chicago. The Pirates had been shut out in the series' first two games and frustrated for most of yesterday.

RANGERS 5, ASTROS 0:

Brandon McCarthy scattered nine hits in his first career complete game and visiting Texas completed a three-game sweep. McCarthy (4-2) struck out six and walked one. Josh Hamilton, Ian Kinsler and Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered for the Rangers.

RED SOX 12, METS 5:

Kevin Youkilis hit a three-run homer two innings after his long foul ball was upheld by a replay review, Mike Lowell also had a three-run shot and Boston avoided being swept at home for the first time this season.

ROCKIES 3, TIGERS 1:

Todd Helton drove in two runs, Jason Hammel pitched into the seventh inning for his first win this season and visiting Colorado beat Detroit. Hammel (1-3) allowed one run on six hits in six-plus innings.

Brian McCann homered twice, pinch-hitter Chipper Jones drove in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded single in the seventh inning and host Atlanta beat Toronto to cap a three-game sweep.

ATHLETICS 6, DIAMONDBACKS 2:

Jason Giambi homered a day after reaching the 400 milestone and Landon Powell hit a tiebreaking shot for his first career home run as host Oakland avoided a sweep.

TWINS 6, BREWERS 3:

Justin Morneau hit a grand slam, Scott Baker pitched into the ninth inning, and host Minnesota completed a three-game sweep. Baker (2-5) allowed seven hits and struck out six in 8 1/3 innings.

NATIONALS 8, ORIOLES 5:

Adam Dunn hit two home runs, including a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning, for a career-high six RBIs as host Washington rallied for a victory.

MARINERS 5, GIANTS 4:

Adrian Beltre and Ken Griffey Jr. homered, leading Felix Hernandez and host Seattle. Hernandez (5-3) struck out 10 in eight innings and allowed one earned run.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
