Moyer Sharp for 7 Innings, Phillies Beat Blue Jays

Phils won for the eighth time in 11 games

Jamie Moyer pitched seven sharp innings and the Phillies took advantage of Toronto's mistakes to beat the Blue Jays 11-2 Sunday.

The Blue Jays made a season-high four errors, including a pair by second baseman Aaron Hill, that set up six unearned runs.

Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Ben Francisco each had three hits for the Phillies and Ryan Howard scored three runs. Philadelphia won for the eighth time in 11 games.

Moyer (9-6), whose mound opponent wasn't even born when he made his major league debut, gave up two runs and six hits. The 47-year-old lefty struck out seven and walked none.

Moyer earned his 267th career victory, moving within one win of tying Jim Palmer for 34th on the all-time list.
