Burrell, Moyer lead Phillies past Pirates

<h3>PHILADELPHIA 8, PITTSBURGH 1 (8 INNINGS/RAIN)</h3>By Vince DiGregorio
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer


PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies wasted notime in picking up the offense with Chase Utley out of thelineup.


Pat Burrell had a home run and three RBI and Greg Dobbs drove intwo runs as the Phillies scored eight times in the first threeinnings and went on to an 8-1 victory over the PittsburghPirates in an eight-inning, rain-shortened game Friday.

Utley, who is batting .336 with 41 doubles, 17 home runs and 82RBI this season, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursdayafter breaking a metacarpal bone in his right hand on Thursday.

Jamie Moyer (9-8) was the beneficiary of the early onslaught andalso drove in a run. The veteran lefthander went seveninnings, giving up an unearned run on six hits with fourstrikeouts and no walks.


Philadelphia quickly jumped on Pittsburgh starter John VanBenschoten (0-5), who threw 84 pitches in just 2 1/3 innings.

Leading, 2-0, the Phillies sent 12 batters to the plate in thethird inning and scored six runs. Van Benschoten walked RyanHoward to start the frame before Burrell lined his next pitchinto left field seats for his 13th home run to make it 4-0.

Dobbs, the next batter, walked and came around to score on adouble by Carlos Ruiz. One out later, Moyer helped his owncause with a RBI single that made it 6-0 and ended VanBenschoten's outing.


Tony Armas came on and didn't fare any better as he gave upthree consecutive singles, including a run-scoring hit by JimmyRollins. Armas later walked Burrell to force in a run that gavePhiladelphia a commanding 8-0 lead.


Van Benschoten was charged with seven runs and six hits. Hewalked four, hit a batter and struggled with his controlthroughout his brief stint.


Ronny Paulino accounted for the only Pittsburgh run with an RBIsingle in the fifth inning. Paulino had three of the six hitsallowed by Moyer.


The Phillies were also missing the services of outfielder AaronRowand, who sat out because of a strained left shoulder and isday-to-day. However, Michael Bourn filled in capably and had acareer-high four hits and scored two runs.


The game was delayed by rain after the seventh inning for 61minutes before being called.
