PHILADELPHIA – Another solid outing from Cole Hamels and timely situational hitting helped the Philadelphia Phillies end their losing skid.

Backed by three sacrifice flies, Hamels pitched his second complete game to lead the Phillies over the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Saturday night.

Hamels (8-2) allowed two runs and five hits to become the NL’s first eight-game winner. Relying on a sharp fastball and his trademark change-up, the second-year left-hander kept the Giants off-balance all night. He struck out five and didn’t allow a walk.

The Phillies had lost four straight at home after sweeping a three-game series in Atlanta to move a season-best two games over .500.

Kevin Frandsen homered and Barry Bonds was 2-for-4 and dropped a fly ball in left field. Bonds remains stuck on 746 career homers, 10 shy of breaking Hank Aaron’s record.

Giants starter Noah Lowry (5-5) gave up four runs and five hits in seven innings.

Frandsen homered to left in the first inning to put the Giants ahead 1-0. But the Phillies answered with a pair of runs in the fourth and fifth.

Jayson Werth reached on an infield single leading off the bottom of the fourth. Chase Utley followed with a double to right-center. Ryan Howard then hit a high drive to deep left that Bonds dropped on the warning track for his first error this season. Werth scored on the sacrifice fly, Utley went to third and Howard advanced to second.

Fans cheered wildly as Bonds looked up at the scoreboard to watch the replay. An inning earlier, they chanted at Bonds: “You took steroids.” Pat Burrell’s sacrifice fly scored Utley to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead.

Jimmy Rollins hit an RBI triple in the fifth and Werth followed with Philadelphia’s third sacrifice fly to make it 4-1. The Phillies aren’t known for moving runners on the bases without getting hits.

Bonds ripped a double to center leading off the seventh. It gave Bonds 5,863 total bases to push him past Ty Cobb for fourth place on the all-time list.

Bengie Molina’s sacrifice fly scored Bonds to cut it to 4-2. Howard had an RBI double in the eighth against Jack Taschner.

He’s 17-10. … Lowry hasn’t allowed more than four runs in any of his 11 starts. … Hamels has both of Philadelphia’s complete games this season.
