MLB: Philadelphia 7, Florida 2

MIAMI, Domonic Brown drove in three runs in his sixth major league game Wednesday, helping the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-2 victory over Florida.

The Phillies have gone 2-0 with slugger Ryan Howard on the disabled list and they remained two games behind Atlanta for the lead in the National League West.

Philadelphia recently called up the highly-touted Brown and he came through Wednesday with an RBI single in the first, a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a run-scoring fielder's choice grounder in the ninth.

Raul Ibanez produced a two-run single in the fifth as part of Philadelphia's third straight win.

Kyle Kendrick (7-4) gave up two runs on eight hits over six innings for the victory.

Florida starter Anibal Sanchez (8-7) struck out seven of the 13 men he retired, but he surrendered four runs on seven hits to take the loss.
