Final Score: Florida 5 - Philadelphia 7

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Pat Burrell's two-run double in the seventh inning proved to be the difference in the Philadelphia Phillies' 7-5 victory in the rubber match of a three-game series against the Florida Marlins.

Chase Utley and Geoff Jenkins each homered for the Phillies, who managed just six hits but have won six of their last seven contests.

Starter Jamie Moyer (6-3) earned the win and improved to 8-0 in eight lifetime starts against the Marlins. After a shaky start, the veteran settled down and hurled seven innings, allowing five runs on seven hits without a walk.

Mike Jacobs carried the Marlins' offense with a pair of home runs and four RBI, while Jorge Cantu scored and knocked in a run during a 2-for-4 day at the plate.

Starter Andrew Miller pitched to a no decision, lasting five innings and allowing three runs -- two earned -- on three hits and four walks. Doug Waechter (0-1) was credited with the loss, surrendering a season-high three runs in 1 1/3 frames of relief.

In the seventh frame, Florida called on reliever Logan Kensing to face Burrell with two on and two out of a 5-5 contest. Kensing's first offering went well wide and both runners moved into scoring position. The Marlins decided to pitch to Burrell despite first base being free, and the left fielder placed a flare down the left field line to bring home the decisive two runs.

Phils' reliever Tom Gordon worked around a leadoff walk in the eighth to keep it a two-run Phillies lead, and Brad Lidge retired the top of the Marlins' lineup in succession for his 13th save of the season.

"Good win for us,' Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "Moyer's seven innings, no walks. Burrell got a big hit in the end. Lidge and Gordon pitched very good."

Ryan Howard got the Phillies started with a two-out, RBI single in the first frame, but Jacobs quickly tied things with a leadoff bomb in the Marlins' next at-bat.

Florida's four runs in the third came with two outs. Hanley Ramirez began the rally with a single, and Moyer plunked Jeremy Hermida on the elbow on a 1-2 pitch. Cantu followed with a single to plate Ramirez and Jacobs crushed Moyer's next offering off the second deck in right for a 5-1 Marlins edge.

Philly battled back with a two-spot in the bottom half as Jimmy Rollins scored on a throwing error by Miller, and Utley smacked his league-leading 20th home run of the season, a bomb to right center. The sweet-swinging second baseman has now homered in six of his last seven games.

Pinch-hitter Jenkins got into the longball act in the sixth, tying the game with a two-run no-doubter off Waechter, who hadn't allowed a run in his previous 11 1/3 innings of work.
