Giving credit to his catcher for calling a good game, Doug Konieczny posted his first major league shutout, pitching the Astros to a 5-0 victory over the Phillies. "I just went along with Milty," Konieczny said in tribute to Milt May, who also paced the Astros' attack, driving in three runs with a pair of doubles.
