Ryan Howard homered twice, Chase Utley also went deep and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Minnesota Twins 9-5 at Citizens Bank Park.
Joe Blanton (2-5) threw six effective innings for the Phillies, who have won three straight and four of five after a 5-14 skid dropped them into third place in the NL East.
Howard went 4 for 4 with three RBIs and set a career high with four extra-base hits, falling a single short of the cycle.
Nick Punto hit a two-run shot for the AL Central-leading Twins.
Blanton gave up three runs and seven hits. The right-hander didn't allow a hit until Jason Kubel led off the fifth with a triple and was thrown out by Utley trying to stretch it into an inside-the-park homer.
Nick Blackburn (6-4) got the loss.
