Vance Worley did his best impression of one of the “Big Four” starters and Raul Ibanez went 3-for-4 with a solo homer as the Philadelphia Phillies topped the visiting Washington Nationals, 7-4, on Wednesday.

Jimmy Rollins added two hits and an RBI and Shane Victorino drove in a pair for the Phillies, who matched their scoring total from the previous three games combined.

Filling in the No. 5 spot in the rotation for the injured Joe Blanton, Worley (2-0) cruised through six innings, allowing one run on four hits while striking out seven and not issuing a walk. The 23-year old righthander has won each of his first two starts this season, surrendering just one run in 12 innings.

Ibanez carried an 0-for-34 slump into Tuesday’s series opener but went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles in that one and continued to swing a hot bat Wednesday, homering for the first time since April 7 to begin a three-run rally in the fifth.

Jason Marquis (3-1) suffered the loss for the Nationals, getting charged with all seven runs - six earned - on 10 hits in five-plus innings.
