Hitting his second double of the game, Mike Easler paved the way for a run in the eighth inning, giving the Pirates a 6-5 victory over the Phillies. Following Easler's two-bagger, Bill Madlock was handed an intentional pass.

Matt Alexander then came in to run for Easler. Ed Ott sacrificed and, after Phil Garner was passed purposely to load the bases, Lee Lacy provided a pinch-sacrifice fly scoring Alexander. [The Sporting News]
