Pirates rally late to upend Phillies

<h3>PITTSBURGH 8, PHILADELPHIA 4</h3>PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- Through the seventh-inning stretchSunday, Kyle Lohse and the Philadelphia Phillies appeared to becruising to their fifth victory in their past seven games. Thenthe bottom fell out.


The Pittsburgh Pirates used a seven-run seventh inning en routeto a 8-4 come-from-behind victory during a chilly afternooncontest in Pittsburgh that featured two rain delays.

Matt Kata had a pinch-hit three-run double and Xavier Nady hadtwo hits and two RBI for the last-place Pirates, who have wonthree of four.


Russel Branyan hit his ninth home run and Jimmy Rollins his 22ndfor the Phillies, who fell five games behind the NLEast-leading New York Mets and allowed the Atlanta Braves tomove within a half-game of second place.


After the game started 44 minute late, Rollins led off thecontest with his homer to right-center. It was his 23rd career<div class="pre">leadoff homer and sixth this season both Phillies records.</div>

When Branyan hit his homer in the sixth - his second in his pastfive at bats - the Phillies had a 4-0 lead and it looked as ifthey would leave town with their fourth consecutive seriesvictory.


Lohse, making his fourth start with the Phillies since beingacquired from the Cincinnati Reds July 30, entered the game 2-0with an 0.48 ERA lifetime against the Pirates.


He pitched a six-hit complete game shutout against them May 28and was on his way to another such sterling performance Sunday.He faced the minimum through 4 2/3 innings and had a three-hitshutout going into the seventh.


But then things turned sour for the Phillies. With it still 4-0and only Xaiver Nady on first and two outs, Jose Bautistasingled and pinch-hitter Josh Phelps walked. That's when Katadelivered his double to left-center to clear the bases.

J.C. Romero (0-1) relieved Lohse and gave up a game-tying doubleto Nate McLouth. Two batters later, Sanchez doubled off ofAntonio Alfonseca to score McLouth and give Pittsburgh the lead,5-4. After an intentional walk to Adam LaRoche, Nady's singlescored Jack Wilson and Sanchez to make it 7-4.


That made a winner out of Pirates starter Ian Snell (8-10), wholeft the game down 4-0 and had not won since July 4 and had notstarted a game Pittsburgh had won since the All-Star break. Hestruck out 10 in allowing four runs on eight hits and threewalks in seven innings.


The teams endured a 63-minute delay and then another 24-minuterain delay in the middle of the eighth.
