PHILADELPHIA - Todd Jones' first appearance in Philadelphia ended with him getting booed off the mound.
Vinny Castilla's tiebreaking two-run double off Jones with two outs in the eighth inning led the Colorado Rockies past the Phillies 4-2 on Monday night.
The Phillies fell six games behind East-leading Atlanta in their first home game since starting a 13-game road trip a half-game back of the Braves. Philadelphia trails Chicago by 31/2 in the wild-card race.
"It's definitely not my dream Philly entrance," said Jones, who allowed three runs in the eighth in his worst outing since coming to the Phillies in a trade July 30. "It's a good baseball town. They expect a lot and I expect a lot. I've been around long enough to know when I stunk."
Colorado, which has the third-worst record in the league, improved to 3-1 since trading star outfielder Larry Walker to St. Louis.
Castilla, the former Devil Ray, is second in the league with 94 RBIs.
"Vinny came through for us," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said.
Luis Gonzalez led off the eighth with a tying homer against Jones. Aaron Miles singled with one out and Todd Helton was hit by a pitch one batter later. Castilla then lined a shot off the leftfield wall, scoring both.
"He had been pitching pretty good," Phillies manager Larry Bowa said. "He had three good outings for us on the road."
Jamey Wright gave up two runs and six hits in 62/3 innings in his fourth start since signing with the Rockies last month. Tim Harikkala walked one in two-thirds of an inning and earned the win. Steve Reed got two outs in the eighth, and Shawn Chacon pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 35 chances.
Preston Wilson homered and doubled for the Rockies.
"That's a quality start for Wright and we got a nice job out of the bullpen," Hurdle said.
Placido Polanco homered for the Phillies, who got another solid outing from Eric Milton.
The left-hander allowed one run and three hits, striking out eight and walking two in seven innings. He is 12-2 but hasn't had a decision in six of seven starts since beating Baltimore on July 4.
"We were playing well. This was a tough loss," Milton said.
