PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Raul Ibanez relished the celebration following his first game-ending homer with the Philadelphia Phillies. He even enjoyed his shaving cream pie.

Ibanez hit a two-run shot in the ninth inning to give the Phillies a 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

``They got me good,' said Ibanez, who still had traces of the postgame celebration in his left ear. ``They got me real good and I was not ready for it. After a game like that I don't care what they put in it. They can spit in it and I'll take it.'

Chase Utley hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning and Jimmy Rollins' first career pinch-hit drive in the eighth cut San Diego's lead to 4-3.

Ryan Howard started Philadelphia's winning rally with a leadoff single against Edwin Moreno, and Ibanez followed by hitting a 2-0 pitch into the right-field stands.

``It was a changeup,' said Ibanez, who signed a free-agent deal with the Phillies in the offseason. ``I thought it was out off the bat but I was worried it wouldn't stay straight and fair. I'm just glad it did.'

Padres manager Bud Black had to use Moreno (0-1) in the ninth because closer Heath Bell had worked three consecutive days. Moreno had not allowed an earned run in his first six appearances this season.

``A couple of late homers in the game hurt us,' Black said.

Ibanez, who has four career game-ending homers, went 2-for-4. Clay Condrey (2-0) pitched a scoreless inning to earn the win as Philadelphia ended a three-game skid.

``I got behind in the count and he got a good pitch to hit,' Moreno said. ``He's a good hitter and it happens.'

San Diego scored three times in the third inning against Chan Ho Park. Jody Gerut singled in Everth Cabrera to give the Padres a 1-0 lead, and Edgar Gonzalez followed with a sinking liner to left that Ibanez struggled with before it glanced off his glove for a triple. Brian Giles added a run-scoring groundout.

Josh Geer, recalled from Triple-A Portland before the game, allowed two runs, one earned, and six hits in seven innings for San Diego.

Notes: The Padres placed RHP Walter Silva on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Tuesday, with a strained right forearm. ... SS Rollins and OF Jayson Werth were held out the starting lineup for the first time this season. Rollins opened the season just 6-for-45 over 10 games. Werth entered in a 3-for-17 slump over the last four games. ... Cabrera left in the sixth with a hand injury. He will be evaluated again on Monday.
