SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy can't wait for the All-Star break.

No, not because he'll be managing the National League team in the annual midsummer classic on Tuesday night.

Actually, it's because if the Giants can explode for 37 hits in two games after getting one day off, imagine what they're capable of with four days.

"They got their legs back," Bochy said after the Giants, who responded to a day off Thursday with 22-hit eruption Friday, banged out 15 more hits in an 8-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night.

Third baseman Matt Duffy highlighted a five-run sixth inning with a two-run triple for his third hit of the game, and shortstop Brandon Crawford also collected three hits, including a triple, as the Giants once again took advantage of the major leagues' worst pitching staff in a second consecutive win.

"This is a team that's getting healthier," Bochy said optimistically. "They're catching their breath. I see different swings, different at-bats. It's a case of being a bit more rested."

After home runs by first baseman Ryan Howard and left fielder Cody Asche gave Philadelphia a 4-1 lead through 5 1/2 innings, the Giants rallied after the Phillies pulled starter David Buchanan from the game.

Called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley before the game, Buchanan gave up eight hits but limited the Giants to one run through five innings. He left with a three-run lead.

"These guys have been champions for a reason," Buchanan said of the Giants. "Champions don't quit. They get down early and they continue to fight.

"This was one of those games where you know it's going to be a battle for 27 outs. Unfortunately, we came up on the short side of things."

Crawford and left fielder Gregor Blanco singled consecutively with one out in the game-turning sixth against Phillies reliever Jake Diekman.

Right-hander Luis Garcia (3-4) replaced Diekman and struck out pinch-hitter Justin Maxwell for the second out. But center fielder Angel Pagan doubled in two runs to get San Francisco within one, and after second baseman Joe Panik walked, Duffy smacked his triple that put the Giants in front for good at 5-4.

"Angel got a big hit there," Bochy said of Pagan, who finished with multiple RBIs (three) for the second consecutive night after not having had as many as two in a game since Opening Day. "Good comeback. The fellas really fought back hard. Nice two-out rally."

Catcher Buster Posey followed with an RBI single, his second hit of the game, to cap the five-run inning and increase the lead to 6-4.

Pinch-hitter Ehire Adrianza had an RBI single and Pagan his third RBI on an infield out as the Giants tacked on two runs in the seventh and rode a strong bullpen effort to the third win during their six-game homestand.

"Good comeback win," said Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong, who left with his club trailing 4-1 in the top of the sixth. "We don't like to need them. But it keeps things positive in here."

Left-hander Josh Osich (1-0) relieved Vogelsong after the home runs by Howard and Asche in the sixth and got the final out of the inning. He was rewarded with his first major league win when the Giants immediately rallied into the lead in the bottom of the inning.

"Vulture job, we call it," Bochy said of the one-out win. "You sneak a win there."

Five other Giants relievers combined to limit the Phillies to one run in the final three innings. The last of the five, right-hander Santiago Casilla, retired the only batter he faced to end the game and notch his 22nd save.

Vogelsong allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings. He gave up five hits and three walks and struck out five.

"They're swinging it good," Vogelsong said of Giants hitters. "We're doing some good things right now. We've just got to keep it going."

Howard and Asche each had two RBIs for the Phillies, who lost for the seventh time in nine games on their 10-game trip.

Shortstop Freddy Galvis had a double and a triple, and center fielder Odubel Herrera collected two hits, including an RBI double that capped the scoring in the ninth.

The Phillies totaled nine hits.

"Without a doubt, everybody could use a break," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. "We regroup. Everybody will start the second half well rested. Hopefully, we'll get it together."

Neither team made the most of its opportunities early on, and they found themselves deadlocked at 1-1 until Howard's homer in the sixth.

The Phillies scored first on Howard's first RBI, a single that brought home second baseman Andres Blanco just one out into the game. But catcher Carlos Ruiz grounded into a double play, stranding a baserunner in scoring position.

The Giants got eight baserunners to second base or farther in the first five innings but plated only one of them. That occurred in the second, when Crawford tripled to score first baseman Brandon Belt, who doubled.

That tied the score at 1, but Crawford eventually was stranded at third base, just as Panik had been in the first inning.

Crawford also reached third in the fourth inning after his second hit -- a single -- but again couldn't make it the final 90 feet.

NOTES: The Giants' 373rd consecutive sellout pushed their total attendance in 15 1/2 seasons at AT&T Park past 50 million. No major-league team has reached the milestone at its home park faster. ... It took the Giants 1,261 home dates to top 50 million in attendance. The previous record of 1,311 dates had been set by the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. ... Phillies 3B/LF Cody Asche’s home run was a "Splash Hit" into the San Francisco Bay. He became the first member of the Phillies and just the 37th Giants opponent to land one in the water. ... The Phillies (29-61) now have more losses than they had in the entire 2011 season (102-60). ... To make room for RHP David Buchanan on the 25-man active roster, the Phillies demoted RHP Severino Gonzalez to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
