Pirates-Phillies, top of eighth

It's still 3-0, Phillies on the strength of homers by Howard, Jenkins and Feliz.
J.D. Durbin is still pitching for Philly.
Velandia flies to center on the first pitch. The next batter is Anthony Webster, a minor-league call-up for the game.
Webster was drafted by the White Sox in 2001. If he makes it to the majors (he just struck out), he'll join long-forgotten Mitchell Webster as the only Pirates players with that surname.
Morgan keeps the inning alive, getting hit by a pitch for the second time. Maybe Josh Wilson can keep it going.
Not this time. Durbin gets him to ground out.
