MIAMI (AP) -- Roy Halladay survived a shaky opening inning, Jimmy Rollins had three hits and scored three times, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 9-5 on Saturday night.
Chase Utley drove in three runs and Carlos Ruiz added a two-run double for the Phillies, who evened their record at 79-79 with four games left.
Halladay (11-8) allowed six hits and four runs, striking out seven and walking three in five innings.
Giancarlo Stanton had three hits, including his 36th homer, and drove in three runs for Miami. The Marlins led 3-0 after an inning but lost for the 91st time -- matching the most by the franchise in any season since 1999.
Ricky Nolasco (12-13) allowed nine hits and five runs in five innings for Miami, which got a three-hit night from Donovan Solano.
Miami loaded the bases in each of the last two innings, getting only one run out of those opportunities.
The Phillies said first baseman Ryan Howard will miss the remainder of the year with a broken right big toe, an injury suffered on Thursday when he dropped a metal pipe on his foot in the on-deck circle. The injury, which typically heals after a few weeks, is not expected to significantly impact Howard's offseason training program.
Assuming he finishes with 11 wins, it's the lowest total for Halladay since he went 8-8 for Toronto in 2004. His ERA, if it holds, will be 4.49, nearly double the mark of 2.35 from a year ago and well over the 2.98 he posted from 2001 through 2011.
The 132 strikeouts match his fewest since 2006, and opponents have posted their highest average against him -- .261 -- since 2007.
And Miami, which flailed at everything Halladay threw when he pitched a perfect game at the Marlins' former ballpark in 2010, wasted little time getting to him on Saturday.
Bryan Petersen and Solano led off with singles, and Jose Reyes walked on four pitches to load the bases for Stanton. He tapped a two-run single to center, and Rob Brantly later brought Reyes home and put the Marlins up 3-0.
From there, other than Stanton hitting a solo homer in the third, the night was pretty much controlled by the Phillies.
Pete Orr's two-run double in the second got Philadelphia on the board, and the Phillies added three in the fifth -- an inning where Halladay led off with a single. Utley's two-run single tied the game, and he scored the go-ahead run on Domonic Brown's triple to center.
Ruiz's double in the seventh pushed the lead to 7-4, and Utley's third RBI in the eighth gave the Phillies a four-run cushion.
The Marlins got an RBI single from Gil Velazquez in the eighth, after loading the bases with none out. Pinch-hitter Austin Kearns went down on strikes for the second out; the pitch got away from Ruiz, who retrieved it and flipped to reliever Antonio Bastardo in time to easily catch Carlos Lee trying to score from third.
Lee popped up for the second out when the bases were loaded again in the ninth, and Jonathan Papelbon -- not in a save situation -- struck out Greg Dobbs to end the 4-hour, 3-minute game.
Notes: Rollins hit a foul ball that drifted into the third-base seats in the seventh, and a fan tried to catch the pop-up with his popcorn bucket. Predictable hilarity followed -- popcorn sailed everywhere. Rollins eventually reached and scored his 100th run of the season on Ruiz's double. ... LHP Cole Hamels (16-6) pitches for the Phillies on Sunday afternoon against Marlins RHP Nathan Eovaldi (3-6). ... The Marlins have set their rotation for the final three games against the New York Mets: RHP Josh Johnson is scheduled to go on Monday, RHP Jacob Turner on Tuesday and LHP Mark Buehrle in the finale on Wednesday afternoon.

Hamels Picks Up 17th Win, Phillies Down Marlins
What a season for Cole Hamels.
He was clearly one of the few bright spots for the entirety of the year in Philadelphia, and that continued today as he fanned eight over seven innings in the Phillies 4-1 win. The victory gave him 17 on the season, a new career high. And with those eight strikeouts, he reaches 216 for the season, also a new high.
It’s been a season of lows for a...
Phillies, Halladay pick up win over Marlins
MIAMI -- After a rough start, Roy Halladay finished his final outing of the season on a positive note. Halladay (11-8) allowed four runs, three in the first inning, in five innings to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 9-5 Saturday. "The first inning was obviously pretty sloppy," Halladay said. "I felt like after that it got better, we scored...

End of Season Post-Mortem: Philadelphia Phillies
If you would have told me back in March that I'd be writing this piece in September, I would have looked at you funny. But, here we are. The Phillies never really clicked this year after winning 102 games last year, and took a step backwards in nearly every facet of the game. Injuries also played a huge role on this team, with pretty much every relevant player aside from franchise...
It’s official, the Phillies are out of the race
The Phillies playoff run is officially over after losing to the Marlins 2-1 last night. It was another “walk-off” loss for the Phillies their 12th this season, personifying the season. No hitting and poor relief pitching ,a formula in many of the Phillies losses and what needs to be addressed in the off-season.
We all new it was coming but I have to admit it still hurts. From...
Phillies Weekend Roundup
*Ryan Howard will finish the 2012 season the same way he started it, injured. The big oaf dropped the weighted bat he uses in the on-deck circle on his toe and broke it. *Jimmy Rollins surpassed the 100 runs scored mark for the 6th time in his career. *Pete Orr is batting .321, Kevin Frandsen .330, and Michael Martinez .173. Why, oh why, does Charlie Manuel insist on playing...
On Second Thought, Chase Utley Will Not Play 3B for Phillies This Year
Today before the Phillies' loss to the Miami Marlins, Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro met with reporters. They learned that Chase Utley would not play third base before season's end, Scott Franzke reported on the Phillies radio broadcast.

WP: Steve Cishek (5-2, 2.77 ERA) LP: Josh Lindblom (3-4, 3.34 ERA)
A September game consisting of two non-contending teams definitely will draw minimal interest from the media and the respective city's fans. Both teams tonight, with nothing to play far, hardly brought anything to the table.

The Second Wild Card Gave Phillies Fans a Good Run
By July 31, 2012 the Phillies unloaded starting outfielders Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence, effectively conceding that the group of players the Phillies had were unable to win. A few days later Joe Blanton went out the door as well, and the Phillies gave Jim Thome to the Orioles even before that. The second National League Wild Card, however, gave Phillies fans plenty of...
