DENVER (AP) -- Chase Utley drove in six runs and hit a grand slam to cap a nine-run seventh inning Thursday night as the Philadelphia Phillies overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Colorado Rockies 12-11.

Utley's six RBIs tied a career high and came after Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth also went deep during the big inning in which the Phillies collected nine hits and all but buried the Rockies' playoff hopes.

Antonio Bastardo (1-0) benefited from the Phillies' big inning, getting the win despite allowing a run and four hits in one inning of relief, and Brad Lidge got the last three outs for his 19th save in 24 chances but not before giving up a run.

Colorado had 20 hits but came up a run short in an all-important makeup game against the Wild Card leaders. The Rockies are now 7.5 games behind first place San Diego and 6.5 out of the Wild Card lead. They open a three game series with the Padres this weekend.
