Two RBIs each by Jason Thompson and Omar Moreno led the Pirates to a 6-2 victory over the Phillies. Thompson broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning with a run-scoring double following a single by Tim Foli and he drew a bases-loaded walk in the fourth. Johnny Ray drilled an RBI double to produce the first marker of the two-run fourth. [The Sporting News]
