Eagles 20 - Broncos 5

Wow.

Chase Utley drove in a career-best six runs, Jamie Moyer had a season-high seven strikeouts and the Philadelphia Phillies scored their most runs in nearly a decade, a 20-5 rout over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

Utley hit a three-run shot to tie Lance Berkman and Dan Uggla for the major league lead with 16 homers. Utley finished 3-for-6, Chris Coste added a three-run homer and Pedro Feliz had four hits and four RBIs.

Philadelphia scored its most runs since a 21-8 win over the Chicago Cubs on July 3, 1999, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The Phillies batted around three times and had season-highs in hits (19) and runs a day after beating Houston 15-6.

Six runs here, six runs there ... pretty soon you're talking about a real score!

Dagny told me when I came inside at the top of the sixth, "You don't want to watch the game." It got worse from there, but I watched. 'Til the end. What can I say, I'm a fan when they win and I'm a fan when they lose. Still looking for them to find the winning formula again...

P.S. Out-of-staters likely haven't seen the infamous new Rockies commercial: Clint Hurdle - "Hey Mattie, you touch that?" (Addressing Matt Holiday and pointing at a plate on the table.) Other players chimed in, "Yeah, he touched it. I saw him." It was an instant classic.
