Late two-run homers Sunday by Chase Utley and Matt Stairs lifted Philadelphia to a 7-5 win over Colorado.


Utley’s shot with none out in the top of the eighth inning created a 5-5 tie, and Stairs, batting for winner Ryan Madson (1-0) launched the game-winner with one out in the ninth.


Utley led the attack with three runs and two hits.


Jayson Werth hit two RBI singles, while Ryan Howard added a run and three hits for the Phillies, who won twice in the three-game series.


Brad Lidge earned his second save despite a hit and a walk in the bottom of the ninth.


Colorado, which blew an early 4-0 lead, scored on Clint Barmes’ two-run first-inning single, Brad Hawpe’s first-inning double, Garrett Atkins’ first-inning single and Dexter Fowler’s solo homer in the second.


The losing pitcher was closer Huston Street (0-1).


Both clubs have split their first six games.
