Jamie Moyer held the struggling Atlanta Braves offense to two hits in his first shutout since 2006 and Jayson Werth homered to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-0 victory on Friday.
Raul Ibanez drove in two runs and Chase Utley and Ryan Howard each score a pair for the Phillies, who have won six of seven.
The 47-year-old Moyer (4-2) turned in his first complete game since 2007 and faced just one batter over the minimum. The ageless left-hander struck out five and did not walk a batter to pick up his fourth win of the season and lower his ERA by more than a run to 4.50.
Werth gave Moyer all the support he would need in the third, reaching Derek Lowe for his sixth homer of the season. Philadelphia piled on in the fifth, getting two-run singles from Ibanez and Wilson Valdez.
Lowe (4-3) lasted through five innings and was charged with all seven runs on 11 hits while walking two and striking out a pair. The veteran sinkerballer, who is in the second year of a four-year, $60 million deal, saw his ERA rocket to 6.16.
