PHILADELPHIA -- If the trade rumours bothered the Philadelphia Phillies, they only have a few hours left. C.J. Mosley Jersey . Carlos Ruiz and Michael Young hit two-run homers to back John Lannan, and the Phillies beat the San Francisco Giants 7-3 Tuesday night to snap an eight-game losing streak. The Phillies beat the New York Mets 13-8 in their first game after the All-Star break, but scored a total of 14 in the next eight losses to drop out of contention. "I think the trade deadline for our team has been a distraction," manager Charlie Manuel said. "Ill be glad when its over." The defending World Series champion Giants have lost five in a row and eight of nine. They came off a 3-7 homestand that left them last in the NL West. Lannan (3-4) allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings. "We just have to do our job," Lannan said. "(Trade rumours) are part of the game. Its one of those things where you have to put it in the back of your mind and play. Its something you cant control." Barry Zito (4-8) gave up four runs and five hits in 3 1-3 innings. The 2002 AL Cy Young Award winner is 0-7 with a 9.97 ERA on the road. With Wednesdays non-waiver trade deadline approaching and neither team going anywhere, several players could be changing uniforms before the next pitch. The possibility that Philadelphia deals Young increased when the team called up third baseman Cody Asche from Triple-A. Manuel said Asche will be in the lineup Wednesday, so Young will either play first base or move to a contender if he waives his no-trade clause. "My family is a massive consideration in the decision-making process," Young said when asked where hed like to go. "Ill just leave it at that." Young almost certainly would welcome a return to the Rangers, where he spent his entire career before coming to the Phillies this season. His family still lives in Texas. "Those things are between me and the Phillies," he said. Asked if he expected to be traded, Young said: "I really dont know." Young blamed the Phillies troubles more on injuries than distractions. "We do have the talent here, but a lot of guys have been banged-up," he said. "We have to take the last two months as a challenge. You have to take pride in the way you play the game." Ruiz, All-Star lefty Cliff Lee and closer Jonathan Papelbon also could be traded by the Phillies. Lee and Papelbon are good friends, and they sat in the clubhouse chatting for a while after the game. The Giants might consider moving two-time All-Star outfielder Hunter Pence and lefty Javier Lopez. Pence was traded from Houston to Philadelphia on July 29, 2011. The Phillies sent him to the Giants last July 31. "I try not to pay much attention to that," Pence said. "Just focusing on what I can control. Im trying to do my best to block it out." Ruiz gave the Phillies a 4-2 lead in the fourth when he lined a shot just over the left field wall. Ruiz, an All-Star last year, had not homered in 176 at-bats since last Sept. 25 against Washington. He began the year with a 25-game suspension for using a banned amphetamine. "I think Carlos showed last year the kind of hitter he can be," Manuel said. "Hes missed some time and hes had a hard time getting back to where he was." Young connected off Guillermo Moscoso in the seventh to make it 6-2. Pablo Sandoval drove in San Franciscos first two runs. He had a sacrifice fly in the first inning and his bloop single to right with two outs in the third drove in a run to tie it at 2. Zito struggled through a 45-pitch first inning, allowing two runs. Delmon Young singled in a run with two outs and John Mayberry Jr. walked with the bases loaded.
