MILWAUKEE — A week after Jamie Moyer became the oldest pitcher in history to throw a shutout, the 47-year-old passed another milestone in a victory — 500 home runs allowed.

Moyer overcame the three homers he gave up in the second and Ryan Howard hit a two-run shot for the Philadelphia Phillies in a 9-5 victory over Milwaukee last night.

"That's a lot of chances out there. You can't give up 500 in 600 at-bats, can you?" said Moyer, behind Jay-Z's remix of "Forever Young" playing in the background. "I've thrown a few innings in my career — hits, home runs, walks, strikeouts, errors.

"I don't really keep track of it all, but you guys seem to be able to do a pretty good job of that."

All joking aside, Moyer (5-2) continued his dazzling start, only struggling briefly when Prince Fielder, Jim Edmonds and George Kottaras all hit solo homers in the second to tie the game 3-all.

That pushed Moyer to 501 home runs allowed, second only to Robin Roberts (505) from 1948-66. After Moyer, the list includes Fergie Jenkins (484), Phil Niekro (482) and Don Sutton (472) — all Hall of Famers.

Moyer improved to 263-197 in his 24-year career for a .571 winning percentage that's better than all of them.

"He surprises me every time he goes out," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "I've seen him his whole career and he's the same guy, really. I see the same guy I saw 15, 20 years ago. Seriously."

Raul Ibanez hit a solo homer and Maui's Shane Victorino drove in two with a triple in the fourth off Randy Wolf (3-3) to give the Phillies a 6-3 lead.
