 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Aaron Rowand hit a go-ahead homer and Kyle Kendrick remained unbeaten at home, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.
The Phillies won the opener of a 10-game homestand that also includes visits by San Diego and the NL East-leading Mets. Philadelphia could have All-Star second baseman Chase Utley back in the lineup for the New York series. However, ace Cole Hamels has a strained left elbow and will miss at least Wednesday night's start against the Dodgers, possibly more, after complaining of persistent soreness.
Hamels will have an MRI exam Wednesday and could miss up to three weeks depending on the results, team doctor Michael Ciccotti said.
