<p>Tonight’s win came at a cost as Jimmy Rollins pulled up after a 6th inning hit with a re-injured right calf.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Rollins was playing his fifth game and batted leadoff for the first time since coming back from the disabled list. He took six steps out of the box after hitting a single, jogged slowly to first and immediately came out after touching the bag.</p>
<p>“It’s a big win, but we definitely didn’t want to lose J-Roll,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “We need him playing.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>His previous calf injury cost the Phils’ leadoff man a month. Rollins is currently listed as “day to day.”</p>

<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/187/Shane_Victorino">Shane Victorino</a> also knocked in a run for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/teams/PHI">Phillies</a>, who have won two in a row and six of eight. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/186/Jimmy_Rollins">Jimmy Rollins</a> was 1-for-3 before exiting the game with a mild right calf strain.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/218/Cole_Hamels">Cole Hamels</a> (5-2) scattered three hits and one run over seven strong innings, fanning eight with one walk. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/234/J_C_Romero">J.C. Romero</a> picked up his second save by getting the final two outs.</p>
<p>"He threw very good, he had a high pitch count early. But he settled in and made it work while the other bats helped him out," noted <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/PHI">Phillies</a> manager Charlie Manuel of his starter.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/85/Victor_Martinez">Victor Martinez</a> hit a first-inning homer to account for all the offense for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/teams/BOS">Red Sox</a>, whose three-game win streak was halted.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/722/John_Lackey">John Lackey</a> (4-3) was touched in defeat for six hits and four runs, including two homers, in five innings. He walked five and fanned three.</p>
<p>Martinez deposited a pitch into the seats in left-center with two down in the first to get Boston on the board, then Howard began the fourth with a solo blast to left.</p>
<p>Werth followed with a double that Sox right-fielder <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/176/J_D_Drew">J.D.

<p>"They make every pitcher work," <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/BOS">Red Sox</a> manager Terry Francona said of the team he formerly managed. "They have guys willing to go deep in the count."</p>
<p>Hamels did not allow a hit from <span>Darnell McDonald</span>'s leadoff single in the third until <span>Adrian Beltre</span>'s two-out ground-rule double in the seventh. He finished his outing with a fly out to right from <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/1048/Bill_Hall">Bill Hall</a>.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/69253/David_Herndon">David Herndon</a> retired the side in order in the eighth, then <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/50/Danys_Baez">Danys Baez</a> put two on in the ninth with one out. Romero came on and got Drew on a grounder but hit Beltre before pinch-hitter <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/291/David_Ortiz">David Ortiz</a> flew out to center to end the game.</p>
<p>Hamels has won three straight outings and has not lost in his last five starts...The Phillies went just 6-12 in interleague play last season, while the Red Sox won 11 of their 18 contests...Red Sox first baseman <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/175/Kevin_Youkilis">Kevin Youkilis</a> walked in four plate appearances and has reached base in each of his last 21 games...Prior to the game, the Phillies sent infielder <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/925/Wilson_Valdez">Wilson Valdez</a> to Triple-A Lehigh Valley...Coming into the game, Boston had taken 14-of-18 matchups with Philadelphia and had won nine of their last 12 games in the Quaker City.</p>
