The Philadelphia Phillies(73-52, 1st in NL East) had a bit of a surprise and a possible worry when in Pittsburgh this week. They had opportunities to win all three games, and three times late comebacks caused at the least, extra innings if not a loss. Monday and Tuesday the leads were blown by the bullpen, [...]

Zambrano(7-4) went 6.2 innings giving up only four earned runs on ten scattered [...]

Ageless David Weathers(1-1) got the win while pitching a scoreless bottom [...]
