SUNDAY QUICK HITS

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES @ PITTSBURGH PIRATES

     Roy Halladay did his job once again and the four game losing streak is over. Halladay (8-3) pitched seven strong innings allowing two runs, six hits, walking one and striking out six for his eighth win.

Domonic Brown had the only extra base hit for the Phillies, a double and he was two for five on the day. The Phillies had a fourteen hit day but the help they had from the Pirates pitching staff was key.
A passed ball, two wild pitches, two hit batters and seven walks all contributed to the Phillies win. In the fourth and fifth innings the Phillies scored their first three runs on just one hit. In the final four innings they had eleven hits.

    Pirates starter James McDonald (3-4) gets the loss giving up three runs on three hits, walks five with 3 K’s in four innings. Six relievers finished for McDonald and gave up four more runs on eleven hits.
 

    The Pirates managed three runs on ten hits including a homer by Neil Walker with his eighth of the year. walker was one for four with two RBI.
