Phillies Beat Visiting Pirates, 8-3
The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-3. Philadelphia pitcher and Charlotte, North Carolina, native Khalid Ballouli led the way. The Pirates drop to 7-8 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2005 season.

The Pirates had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Phillies going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old second baseman Placido Polanco came to the plate. Polanco hit a run-scoring double on a 0-1 fastball from Pittsburgh hurler Christian Bridenbaugh. It was Polanco's 5th double of the year.

"It was a tough day, no getting around it," said losing manager Kevin Birdwell.
