HOUSTON — Shane Victorino and Chase Utley drove in three runs apiece and the Philadelphia Phillies hammered the Houston bullpen in a 15-6 win over the Astros today.

Victorino is a St. Anthony alum from Maui.

The Phillies finished with 16 hits after Houston starter Chris Sampson allowed only five through the first five innings.

Reliever Fernando Nieve (0-1), called up from the minors on May 16, gave up four hits and two runs without recording an out in the sixth and Utley hit a two-run homer off Dave Borkowski to cap a six-run seventh.

Carlos Lee hit a three-run homer for Houston, moments after accidentally hitting plate umpire Jerry Crawford in the head with his bat. The game was delayed 12 minutes as Astros trainers treated a bloody gash on the left side of Crawford's head.

First-base umpire Rob Drake took over behind the plate. Two pitches after the game resumed, Lee homered to left, the first runs allowed by Cole Hamels in 19 innings.

Geoff Jenkins hit a two-run homer in the second inning after Sampson walked Pat Burrell. Utley tied the game in the third with a sacrifice fly to center.

The Astros scored two runs in the third before Hamels drove in a run with a single in the fourth, his first RBI of the season.

Ty Wigginton, 7-for-10 in the first three games of the series, doubled off the left-field wall in the fourth and went to third on Sampson's single. Wigginton scored when Michael Bourn grounded into a fielder's choice.

Hamels hadn't allowed more than five runs in a start this season and Phillies manager Charlie Manuel brought in reliever Rudy Seanez (3-3) for the fifth. Hamels had pitched at least seven innings in nine of his 10 starts this season.

Nieve relieved Sampson in the sixth and Burrell led off with a homer to left, his third solo home run in four games. After Carlos Ruiz's RBI single tied the game at 6, Houston manager Cecil Cooper replaced Nieve with Wesley Wright. Victorino added a two-run double before Wright retired the side.

Burrell doubled and Jenkins singled to right off Borkowski in the seventh. Lance Berkman dove to his right, trying to stop Jenkins' hit, and appeared to hurt his right hand. Trainer Rex Jones ran out to check on it, but Berkman stayed in the game.

Greg Dobbs had a pinch-hit, two-run triple and Victorino brought him home with a single to make it 13-6, Philadelphia's highest run total this season. Utley then homered to right, his 15th.

The Astros mustered only two hits in the last four innings. The Phillies' bullpen came into the game with the lowest ERA in the majors at 2.85.
