PHILADELPHIA -- Chase Utley is feeling healthy and his bat certainly isnt hurting, either. Utley extended his hot start with the tiebreaking homer among three hits, sparking the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the Miami Marlins on Sunday for a three-game sweep. Utley raised his average to .500 through 10 games, with six doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs. The five-time All-Star, who missed two games with the flu, has a hit in each of his games this season. Knee issues the last few seasons knocked Utley off an All-Star pace, but hes playing now as if those problems are behind him. "I just see him in really good shape, moving really well on the field defensively and running the bases," Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Hes staying so active on the bases. Maybe that shows how well hes feeling. Thats (knee problems) a non-issue and hes having quality at-bats and seeing the ball well. Hes just in a real good zone. Even his outs are hard." Utley, notorious for keeping things close to the vest, said hes feeling no better or worse physically. "Ive had some decent days, feel OK," he said. "I feel fine, like I normally do." Will Nieves had three hits and two RBIs for Philadelphia, which has won 13 of its last 16 games against Miami. Garrett Jones homered and Casey McGehee had two hits and an RBI for the Marlins, who lost their seventh straight. The Marlins return home to face the Nationals on Monday after getting swept on the six-game road trip through Washington and Philadelphia. "Everyone has to take ownership for this trip," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "Weve got to get better. There are areas we have to improve on, but were still battling. Nobodys going to give up." Utley broke a 3-all tie with two outs in the eighth by driving a 1-0 offering from Mike Dunn (0-1) into the seats in right-centre. "Just finding some holes," Utley said. "Not trying to do too much. Trying to put the ball in play and right now theyre falling." A.J. Bastardo (1-1) pitched a scoreless eighth for the win. Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless ninth for his third save in four chances. Kyle Kendrick has a sparkling career record against the Marlins, going 12-2 with a 3.48 ERA in 21 career games coming in. In his last 11, he was 9-0 with a 2.21 ERA. But he did not factor into the decision Sunday after giving up three runs -- two earned -- on six hits in six innings. His counterpart, Henderson Alvarez, yielded three runs and 12 hits in six innings. The Marlins took advantage of first baseman Ryan Howards fielding error to get a run in the first on McGehees RBI single and tacked on a run on in the second on Christian Yelichs run-scoring single. Jones launched his first homer of the season to deep right with one out in the fifth to give Miami a 3-1 lead. Philadelphia tied it in the bottom half on Nieves two-out, two-run double to right. The Phillies requested an out call at home plate be reviewed in the seventh inning. Tony Gwynn Jr. was called out trying to score from first on Utleys double to left. But Sandberg asked for the play to be reviewed because he thought catcher Jeff Mathis was blocking the plate with his left leg prior to Gwynns slide. Under the expanded replay format, umpires initiate a review of the new rule covering collisions at home plate. After a 54-second delay the out call by homeplate umpire Mark Ripperger was upheld. Sandberg, though, believes there needs to be clarification to the rule. "I thought the catcher did not give the base runner a lane," he said. "I saw the replay and I still say the leg was blocking it, so Gwynn didnt have a lane to home plate. I felt like Gwynn had to alter his slide because the plate was blocked, so theres some confusion there." Howard had just three hits in his last 17 at-bats before homering to the opposite field with one out in the third to tie it at 1. It was the second homer of the season for Howard. Gwynn started in centre field in place of Ben Revere for the third straight game and had three hits. Revere struck out swinging in the seventh as a pinch-hitter. The Phillies, who entered leading the NL with 43 bases on balls, walked six times against three Marlins pitchers.

Prior to the game, the Phillies optioned RHP Justin De Fratus to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and recalled RHP Luis Garcia.

Jon Gray Jersey . -- Stanley Johnson scored all 18 of his points in the second half, T.BARCELONA, Spain - In what is expected to be the most combative match of the weekend in the Spanish league, players are already trading barbs.Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves set the tone by questioning Atletico Madrids physical style of play, and Jorge Koke Resurreccion responded that he and his teammates were used to such criticism and were only focused on winning.The teams will be playing for second place and a possible shot at the league lead.Also, Barcelona visits Rayo Vallecano looking to bounce back from its 3-2 loss at Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid hosts a slumping Athletic Bilbao.Here are some things to should know about this weeks Spanish leagues matches:___WAR OF WORDSChances are it wont be the prettiest of matches, but Atletico Madrids visit to Valencia could be the rounds most prickly, if not hot-tempered, contest.(Atletico) is a team that competes with you physically, they test the limits of the referees, Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves said. We have to match them in this. We can have a good game if we do that. Its an important game against the defending champion. They are favourites but we can be strong at home.Koke just wants to concentrate on football.Well, everyone says we are violent, Koke said. We just try to focus on playing our style of football, which is to go out on the pitch and get the win. We arent concerned with what the rest say.Valencia enters the round ahead of Atletico on goal difference in second place, two points behind Barcelona. Both are unbeaten this season in the league and Atletico will be encouraged, and also worn down, by its 1-0 win over Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday.___AGAIN THE DefenceScoring has not been a problem for Barcelona. Thats why coach Luis Enrique put his emphasis on shoring up a defence that the club reinforced with its first group of off-season signings in years.Barcelona started the season in superb fashion by scoring 18 goals while not conceding onee through seven straight wins.ddddddddddddBut while Lionel Messi and Neymar did their part by scoring goals against PSG on Tuesday, Barcelonas defence allowed its first goals of the season and dug a hole that not even the two South American stars could help it escape.Losses always make you worry, Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano said. We need to correct our mistakes and keep improving.Rayos main threat is forward Leo Baptistao, who is enjoying his return on loan from Atletico to the club where he broke out two seasons ago. The Brazilian has scored two goals in each of Rayos last two wins.___RONALDOS HEELCristiano Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in 10 appearances this season, and his 10 goals lead the league. But the forward finished Wednesdays match favouring his left leg.The club hasnt said if he is injured.Madrid has struggled without Ronaldo this season, losing the Spanish Super Cup to Atletico when Ronaldo wasnt fully fit and falling 4-2 at Real Sociedad when he missed the game because of injury.___BILBAOS BLUESThis was supposed to be the season when Bilbao consolidated its position as one of Spains best teams after a fourth-place finish earned the club its first Champions League berth in 16 seasons.Instead, Bilbao has slumped since eliminating Napoli in the playoffs to reach the group stage of the Champions League, winning only one game of its other eight games.Bilbao hasnt won at the Santiago Bernabeu since 2005.___CELTA ON RISECelta Vigo has found life after the exit of coach Luis Enrique and is flourishing under replacement Eduardo Berizzo.Led by forward Manuel Nolito Agudos four goals, it is one of four undefeated teams left in the league and has won its last two games.Celta has refined the passing attack installed by Luis Enrique and Berizzo, a former Celta defender, has made it more reliable at the back.Celta is in sixth place, level on points with Madrid, and hosts seventh-place Villarreal on Sunday.
