MIAMI -- Just as the Philadelphia Phillies welcomed back Ryan Howard from injury, the team may have lost Chase Utley. Delmon Young homered and Howard added three hits and three RBIs to help carry the Phillies to a 7-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night. Utley was a late scratch with a rib injury suffered during batting practice. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said the second baseman would be evaluated on Wednesday. "When he took a swing, he kind of felt a burn, a pain, in his rib cage," Manuel said. Also before the game, Philadelphia placed catcher Carlos Ruiz (strained hamstring) on the 15-day disabled list. Young, meanwhile, had two hits to raise his average to .214 after returning from off-season ankle surgery. Howard returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games with a sore left knee. "We havent been scoring many runs and I havent been contributing like Im capable of," Young said. "Hopefully we can carry this over to tomorrow and the rest of this road trip because were going to need to score runs the rest of this road trip to win ballgames." Manuel said he glad to see Young "click" and homer for the second time this season. "We think Delmon can hit," Manuel said. "Hes 27-years-old, we definitely think he has a lot of baseball left in him. Its just a matter of him getting some at-bats and getting going." Howard said he felt good two days after getting a cortisone shot on his left knee. "It felt better. Ill just continue to try and build on it," Howard said. "I saw the ball pretty well and was able to get a couple of knocks off two lefties. Really, I was just focused on putting together good at-bats." Tyler Cloyd (1-0) allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings. He was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley (International League) earlier in the day. "Up here, Im definitely keeping the ball down more than I did at Triple-A," Cloyd said. "I think I try to do too much down there and get out of my game at certain times." Miamis Jose Fernandez went five innings, allowing one run and five hits. He walked one and struck out two. "Every time I can go out there and give the team a chance to win and a chance to stay in the ball game, Im happy," Fernandez said. Philadelphia went ahead 2-1 in the sixth when Domonic Browns ground out scored Howard from third. Howard led off with a single and took third on Youngs double to deep centre off Duane Below (0-1). Howards single with the bases loaded scored two runs and highlighted a four-run seventh that gave the Phillies a 6-1 lead. He received a cortisone shot Sunday. Youngs ground out and Browns double scored the other Phillies runs in the seventh. Young homered to left-centre on a 2-2 pitch with one out in the fourth. It was his second home run of the season. Juan Pierres seventh-inning RBI single pulled Miami within 6-2. Howard added an RBI single in the eighth off Wade LeBlanc. Miamis Justin Ruggiano had a run-scoring double with two outs in the ninth. Pinch-hitter Jordan Browns sacrifice fly in the fifth scored Placido Polanco to tie it at 1 and take Fernandez off the hook.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A scary moment involving Tampa Bay right-hander Alex Cobb overshadowed the Rays victory. Cobb was taken off the field on a stretcher after he was hit on the right ear by a liner off the bat of Kansas Citys Eric Hosmer in the fifth inning of the Rays 5-3 win over the Royals on Saturday. Rays spokesman Rick Vaughn said all tests were normal and that Cobb suffered a mild concussion. Cobb was taken to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, where he will spent the night. Cobb tweeted Saturday night: "Cant thank everyone enough for the prayers. Was the only way for me to make it out of there ok. Look forward to getting back out there." He put a hand on his head after being struck. Trainers from both teams and other medical staff immediately ran onto the field. Cobb could be seen kicking his legs while being examined on the mound. The team said Cobb remained conscious the whole time. Players on both teams had hands on their heads as a stunned silence overtook Tropicana Field after the crowd gasped when Cobb was struck. Rays head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield and Dr. Michael Reilly went with Cobb to the hospital. Tampa Bay pitcher David Price visited Cobb in the hospital and tweeted: "Cobber is way more tough than me!! Laughing at jokes and the name they gave him!! Please keep him and his family in your prayers." "He seemed pretty normal, so that was good," Price said after returning to the ballpark. "Our hearts are with him. He told me that Porterfield was making him really mad on the field because he wouldnt let him stand up, so it was good that he wanted to be able to stand up. He knew where he was. Its amazing that he is in the condition I feel like he is in right now." Hosmers drive bounced back toward the plate area, where catcher Jose Lobaton picked up the ball and threw him out at first. "He hit it so hard (Cobb) couldnt even react, and it makes everybody in the stadium sick to their stomach when something like that happens," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Hosmer said he didnt even want to run to first. "I just wanted to see how he was doing," Hosmer said. "You hate to see that, especially Alex having a great year. Its just scary stuff, man. Im glad hes alright. I know hes been talking and having conversations." Hosmer, and Cobbs former teammates James Shields and Elliot Johnson planned to visit the pitcher at the hospital. "I just want to go there and show him I care how hes doing," Hosmer said. Cobb being hit came a month after Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ was also struck by a liner against the Rays and suffered a skull fracture. Happ was discharged from an area hospital the following day. The sound of the ball striking Cobb -- which sounded like a bat hitting a ball -- could be heard in the press box and throughout the ballpark. "I think everybody heard it," Rays right fielder Matt Joyce said. "The loudest and worst ball hitting somebody Ive ever seen. Obviously the same happened with Happ here and that was terrifying, too. But man, that one caught him square." Rays players, manager Joe Maddon and pitching coach Jim Hickey gathered at the mound during the 11-minute delay. Shortstop Yunel Escobar was in squatting position looking doown at the ground, while Hickey appeared at time at be nervously pacing near the mound.dddddddddddd. "When they rolled him over, Cobber was talking and that was a good thing," Maddon said. "Its one of those really, really bad moments. Its part of the game and it stinks sometimes. Just a horrible moment to witness. It doesnt happen often, thank God, but when it does it can really give you pause. We were very lucky. Of course Alex was very lucky." "I thought our medical staff did a great job," Maddon added. "They were beyond professional with how they dealt with the entire moment." It has been a tough week for Cobb, who left the team after starting Monday nights game against Boston due to the death of his grandmother. He was informed of the death after the game in which the 25-year old gave up a season-high six runs over four innings in a 10-8, 14-inning loss to the Red Sox. "So everythings looking positive and from everything Ive heard, he has a laceration on his ear and a concussion," Shields said. "Hopefully its just that." Luke Scott, Joyce and Evan Longoria homered for the Rays, who had lost five of six. Alex Torres (2-0) replaced Cobb and struck out four over 1 2-3 scoreless innings. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 19 opportunities. "Im still shaking," Torres said. Joyce hit a solo homer off Jeremy Guthrie (7-4) in the fifth that put the Rays up 4-2 and ended the Royals 13-game stretch of limiting opponents to three runs or fewer. "Such a heart-wrenching and terrible thing to happen on a baseball field, but at the same time you have to finish the game," Joyce said. "The only thing you can do is just pray that hes OK and pray for a speedy recovery." Guthrie gave up five runs and eight hits over seven innings. Scott hit his first homer since May 19, a two-run drive during the third as Tampa Bay grabbed a 3-2 lead. Scott, who had make all of his 29 previous starts this season at designated hitter, started in left field with third baseman Longoria moving into the DH role. Longoria, bothered the past two weeks by plantar fasciitis in his right foot, was the DH for the third straight game. He made it 5-2 on a sixth-inning solo homer and also had a sacrifice fly in the first. Longoria is expected to DH again Sunday and could play in the field when the Rays start a road trip Tuesday at Boston.
