A two-run triple by Manny Trillo keyed a three-run eighth inning that lifted the Phillies to a 6-4 victory over the Pirates. The Phils were behind, 4-2, when Mike Schmidt and Gary Matthews opened the eighth with consecutive singles. Kent Tekulve relieved Enrique Romo on the hill for the Bucs and Trillo lashed his game-tying triple. Garry Maddox then delivered a sacrifice fly, scoring Trillo. Schmidt provided insurance with a solo homer in the ninth chukker. [The Sporting News]
