 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Aaron Rowand's day off turned into a career day. Rowand hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, helping the Philadelphia Phillies complete their first home sweep this season with an 8-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.
Kyle Kendrick pitched six effective innings in his major league debut, Wes Helms broke a season-long homerless drought with a solo shot and the Phillies won for the seventh time in nine games to move a season-best four games above .500 at 35-31.
Rowand wasn't in the starting lineup against his former team, but drove in the tying run on a groundout as a pinch-hitter in the sixth. His five RBIs tied a career-high.
