PHILADELPHIA — Cliff Lee finally got hit hard.

Garret Anderson hit a three-run homer off the Philadelphia Phillies' new ace and three other Braves went deep to help Atlanta hand Lee his first NL loss with a 9-1 win last night in a rain-shortened game.

"I went to watch every hit I gave up and basically all night they were right down the middle," Lee said. "I got ahead and didn't walk anybody and was in position to put guys away but I didn't do it. I've got to do a better job of keeping the ball down. They're a very good hitting ballclub and they didn't miss any of them."

The game was called with the Phillies due up in the eighth inning after a 43-minute delay caused by torrential rain. The game started 24 minutes late due to a rain delay.

Lee (5-1) was making his sixth start with Philadelphia since being traded from Cleveland on July 29.

Derek Lowe (13-9) scattered eight hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out five, to improve to 6-1 lifetime against the Phillies and 4-0 at Citizens Bank Park.

Matt Diaz and Yunel Escobar also homered off Lee, who entered with an ERA of 0.68 and had surrendered just 24 hits and six runs in 40 innings.
