 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The only number that's important to the Phillies is the length of their winning streak. Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard and Aaron Rowand homered, Pat Burrell added four RBIs and Philadelphia avoided its 10,000th loss again by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 10-4 on Saturday.
Rowand finished 4-for-4 and Chase Utley knocked in two runs for the Phillies, who had 14 hits a day after compiling a season-high 23. The highest-scoring team in the National League scored a run in five of the first six innings to offset an average outing from Cole Hamels and win for the third straight game.
Albert Pujols hit his 18th homer for the Cardinals — his second in two games.
