2010 – Chase Utley hits a grand slam and drives in 6 runs as the Phillies use a nine-run 7th inning to defeat Colorado, 12 – 11, in a make-up game for a May rainout. Both teams need to travel to Denver just for the occasion. The Rockies collect 20 hits, including a homer by Carlos Gonzalez, who hits an extra-base hit for the 10th consecutive game, but they waste a good start by Jhoulys Chacin, who gives up a single earned run in 5 1/3 innings.

Besides Utley, Ryan Howardand Jayson Werth hit homers for Philly, while Chris Iannetta and Dexter Fowler join Gonzalez for Colorado.
