After a tough series, dropping 2 of 3 to the Marlins, the Phils welcomed the Pittsburgh Pirates to the bank for a 3 game weekend set. Joe Blanton got the start and pitched well, limiting the buckos' to 0 runs on just 1 hit through 7 innings of work. Sadly, the Phils could not give him any run support as the game dragged into extra innings still scoreless. Finally in the top of the 12th, Steven Pearce doubled in one run, and Freddy Sanchez singled in a 2nd run for a 2-0 Phil's lead. Finally, in the bottom of the 9th, with one out and two on, Chase Utley slapped what appeared to be the potential game tying double, but Brandon Moss made a diving catch, and doubled the "Flyin Hawaiian" Shane Victorino, off first as he had strayed to far off the bag. So the Phils fell 2-0 in 12 innings and drop to 62-53 overall, now just 1 game up in the NL East.
