ATLANTA -- Ryan Howard homered twice, Jimmy Rollins hit a three-run shot, and the Philadelphia Phillies overcame a shortened start by rookie J.A. Happ to end Atlanta's seven-game winning streak with a 9-4 victory Friday night.

Philadelphia, which has won six straight, snapped the Braves' longest stretch of consecutive victories since July 2006, dropping Atlanta 8 ½ games back in the National League East and hurting their fading wild-card chances.

Howard's 39th and 40th homers came off Tim Hudson (1-1), who gave up six hits, three runs and one walk with three strikeouts in seven innings.

Rollins' 19th homer and Ben Francisco's fifth homer, a solo shot, accounted for Philadelphia's four-run ninth against Vladimir Nunez.

Kyle Kendrick (2-1) won his second consecutive appearance with four scoreless innings.

• Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 5: At Phoenix, Gerardo Parra doubled in the go-ahead runs, Brandon Allen and Ryan Roberts homered and the last-place Diamondbacks rallied to beat the Rockies, sending the NL wild card leaders to their fifth loss in six games.

• Marlins 4, Reds 3: At Cincinnati, John Baker's RBI single highlighted Florida's four-run rally in the ninth inning on Friday night, and the Marlins snapped their nine-game losing streak in Cincinnati with a victory over a Reds team that had been previously perfect at holding such leads.
