MLB: Phils' ninth-inning rally falls short as D-Backs complete sweep

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Ryan Howard lined right into the shift, and Orlando Hudson doubled off pinch-runner Michael Bourn at second base to cut the comeback short, as Arizona survived to complete the sweep with a 4-3 victory over Philadelphia.
Entering the ninth with just one hit, the Phillies eventually brought the winning run to the plate in the person of the National League's reigning Most Valuable Player.
In the ninth, Brandon Lyon hit Aaron Rowand in the back before Shane Victorino hit what looked like a dead double play. Hudson booted it at second and the runners moved up to second and third.
Jimmy Rollins then sliced a ball just out of the reach of a diving Chris Young in center, allowing both runners to score as Rollins legged out a triple.
Jose Valverde entered to face the heart of the Phillies order. Chase Utley punched a fly to center before Pat Burrell slapped a high fastball back through the middle, scoring Rollins for a 4-3 game.
That set up Howard and the game's stunning conclusion.
Bourn pinch ran for Burrell and stole second base on a 2-2 count, leaving the base open for Howard with a full count. Valverde throw an offspeed pitch and Howard hooked it hard right at Hudson, who flipped to the third baseman covering second as Bourn ran on contact.
