Four homers helped power the Phillies to an 8-6 victory over the Cardinals. Denny Doyle hit an inside-in-the-park homer with a man on base in the fourth inning and Deron Johnson smashed the ball over the left-field fence for two more runs in the seventh. Joe Lis connected for the circuit in eighth and Willie Montanez in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
