Roy Halladay on ample rest spelled disaster 0 blowout win.

Halladay (16-5), making his first start since August 21, struck out nine while giving up just two hits and two walks in another stellar outing. Notoriously ineffective at the plate, Halladay also drove in his first runs of the season with a three-run double in the sixth.

The Phillies belted four home runs to back their ace, two coming from Ryan Howard. Hunter Pence and Raul Ibanez also went deep in the club's second straight win to start this four-game set.

Bronson Arroyo (8-11) continued his struggles against Philadelphia, as he was tagged for six runs -- five earned -- on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. The right-hander entered with a 7.13 earned run average against the Phils.
