MILWAUKEE -- Chase Utley hit a two-run homer, and Cole Hamels allowed one earned run in 6 2-3 innings for his first victory in a month as the Philadelphia Phillies edged the slumping Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Monday night. Hamels (3-5) allowed two runs and seven hits, struck out seven and walked two for his first victory since June 6 -- a span of six starts. Ken Giles finished the seventh and worked the eighth. Jonathan Papelbon pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 20th save in 22 chances. Philadelphia rebounded after falling a season-high 14 games below .500 on Sunday when Pittsburgh completed a series sweep. Utley, the starting National League All-Star second baseman, staked the Phillies to a 2-0 lead in the first with his seventh homer, driving an 0-1 pitch from Marco Estrada (7-6) over the right-field wall. It was the 27th home run allowed by Estrada, the most in the majors. It was the sixth loss in seven games for the Brewers, who have had sole possession of first place in the NL Central since April 9. The Phillies extended the lead to 3-0 in the third when Utley singled with two outs. He then scored from first on Ryan Howards single to right-centre. Jeff Bianchis pinch-single pulled the Brewers within 3-2 in the fifth. Milwaukee loaded the bases with no outs on a single by Khris Davis, Mark Reynolds reaching on an error by third baseman Cody Asche, and a single by Jean Segura. Bianchi then lined an opposite-field, two-run single just over the glove of first baseman Howard. Right fielder Marlon Byrd helped limit the damage by throwing out Segura at third on the play. Hamels then enticed Rickie Weeks to bounce into a force out and retired Ryan Braun on a ground out. Hamels also escaped in the seventh inning when Davis drew a leadoff walk and Reynolds launched a towering drive down the left-field line that narrowly hooked foul. NOTES: Braun, who missed Sundays game in Cincinnati after leaving in the second inning on Saturday because of lower-back spasms, started in right field. He was removed for a pinch-runner after doubling to open the eighth. . New Marquette mens basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski threw out the first pitch.

Peterson was deactivated by the Vikings on Friday for this past Sundays home opener against New England after last weeks indictment by a Texas grand jury for reckless or negligent injury to a child. He returned to Montgomery County, Texas on Friday night and was booked into jail, then released on bond early Saturday morning. An investigation into Petersons discipline of one of his sons revealed the 2012 NFL MVP used a switch (a thin, flexible tree branch) to punish his son. The Vikings, on Monday, said Peterson will return to practice this week and is expected to play Sunday against New Orleans. The team said it will come to a further conclusion on Petersons status once the legal system runs its course. Peterson said in the statement he wouldnt discuss the case, but offered an apology and said he had learned much from the proceedings. "My attorney has asked me not to discuss the facts of my pending case," Peterson wrote. "I hope you can respect that request and help me honor it. I very much want the public to hear from me but I understand that it is not appropriate to talk about the facts in detail at this time. Nevertheless, I want everyone to understand how sorry I feel about the hurt I have brought to my child. "I never wanted to be a distraction to the Vikings organization, the Minnesota community or to my teammates. I never imagined being in a position where the world is judging my parenting skills or calling me a child abuser because of the discipline I administered to my son. "I voluntarily appeared before the grand jury several weeks ago to answer any and all questions they had. Before my grand jury appearance, I was interviewed by two different police agencies without an attorney. In each of these intervviews I have said the same thing, and that is that I never ever intended to harm my son.dddddddddddd I will say the same thing once I have my day in court. "I have to live with the fact that when I disciplined my son the way I was disciplined as a child, I caused an injury that I never intended or thought would happen. I know that many people disagree with the way I disciplined my child. I also understand after meeting with a psychologist that there are other alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate. "I have learned a lot and have had to reevaluate how I discipline my son going forward. But deep in my heart I have always believed I could have been one of those kids that was lost in the streets without the discipline instilled in me by my parents and other relatives. I have always believed that the way my parents disciplined me has a great deal to do with the success I have enjoyed as a man. I love my son and I will continue to become a better parent and learn from any mistakes I ever make. "I am not a perfect son. I am not a perfect husband. I am not a perfect parent, but I am, without a doubt, not a child abuser. I am someone that disciplined his child and did not intend to cause him any injury. No one can understand the hurt that I feel for my son and for the harm I caused him. My goal is always to teach my son right from wrong and that?s what I tried to do that day. "I accept the fact that people feel very strongly about this issue and what they think about my conduct. Regardless of what others think, however, I love my son very much and I will continue to try to become a better father and person." Peterson rushed for 75 yards on 21 carries in Minnesotas season opener, a 34-6 win at St. Louis. He ran for 1,266 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. The Vikings dropped a 30-7 decision to the Patriots on Sunday. ' ' '
