| The Phils cannot get past the huge day for the Pirates' Adam Laroche as they lose the slugfest. Laroche goes 5 for 5, knocking in 7 runs. A 3-run double, 2-run homer, two RBI singles amnd another single doomed the Phils. A tight but wild game at first, the Phillies would come back and tie the game three separate times until the Pirates bust it open for good in the 7th inning. |

Adam Laroche had 5 hits and 7 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates outscored the
Philadelphia Phillies 14 to 8.
Laroche was a one-man wrecking crew. He blasted a two-run home run (his 23rd
of the season) in the 1st inning, stroked a single in the 3rd inning, slapped
a base-hit bringing in a run in the 4th inning, laced a one-base hit
resulting in a run in the 6th inning and doubled plating all three
baserunners in the 7th inning. The Pittsburgh offense was great, scoring in
7 of the 9 innings.
The winning pitcher was John Grabow(3-0) who allowed no runs in 2 innings.
Yoel Hernandez(1-2) was the losing pitcher in relief. 'I felt great out
there today' Laroche said. 'I was seeing the ball perfectly, and I was right
on it with my swing.
