Brett Myers started for the Phils giving up 3 runs on 7 hits but Ryan Franklin got tagged with the loss as Atlanta got the go-ahead run in the seventh on a Marcus Giles solo homer.

Dodgers by an 8-3 score.  The Dodgers scored 8 runs on 11 hits while Pittsburgh got their 3 runs on 14 hits.  The Bucs left 13 runners stranded.   Odalis Perez (1-0) got the win having hurled 5 1/3 innings giving up 1 run on 6 hits while losing Pittsburgh starter Zack Duke got the loss pitching 5 innings and giving up 7 runs, including two 2 run homers.
