A.J. Burnett tossed five and one-third innings, allowing just two runs on seven hits and six walks, but the Phillies’ relievers would allow three late runs to the Pirates, as they lost 5-3.
Jake Diekman relieved Burnett, recording the final two outs of the sixth inning before Brad Lincoln took the mound. Lincoln would strike out the side in the seventh before returning for the eighth, where things went downhill.

After surrendering a home run to Travis Ishikawa to start the eighth, Lincoln would allow the next two batters to get aboard before being pulled in favor of Shawn Camp.
Camp would allow an RBI single to Chris Dickerson , and an error by Cameron Rupp would allow a third run to the Pirates in the inning, all charged to Lincoln, before the Phillies got out of the inning.
Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard hit solo home runs in the first inning to stake the Phillies a lead, and Cody Asche would hit a solo home run of his own in the fifth to break a 2-2 tie before the Phillies fell apart late.
Kyle Kendrick will get the start on Sunday, as the Phillies face the Twins at home.
