Bottom 3rd: Pirates at Phillies

The sun stinks. First Pirate third baseman Chris Gomez loses a pop-up, is charged with an error when he bungles an attempt at a basket catch.

Moments later, Pirates left fielder Nyjer Morgan gives chase to a Carlos Ruiz fly ball. Unable to see it, Morgan throws up his hands. The ball bounces next to him, into the stands for a groundrule double.

The Phillies pounce. Utley and Rollins drive in runs, before Howard hits a blast that clears not only the right field berm, but the chain-link fence behind it. It’s 5-1 Phillies.
