Phillies 4, Giants 3 (12): Jimmy Rollins singled home the winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning and host Philadelphia avoided a three-game sweep.

John Mayberry Jr. swatted a pair of solo home runs for the Phillies, who snapped a seven-game home losing skid.

Kyle Kendrick (4-8) pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings to hand San Francisco only its second loss in nine games since the All-Star break.

Carlos Ruiz ignited the winning rally by drawing a one-out walk off Brad Penny (0-1) before Laynce Nix followed with a single to put runners at the corners.

Rollins, who had only two hits in his previous 18 at-bats, ended it with a single to center to help Philadelphia boost its National League-worst home record to 18-29.
