Myers, Rollins lead Phillies past Pirates

August 9, 2008 at 9:52p.m.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brett Myers pitched 7 2/3 sharp innings, Jimmy Rollins had four hits and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 on Saturday night.

Myers (5-9) allowed one run and five hits, striking out six. The feisty right-hander wasn’t pleased to leave with a runner on second and two outs in the eighth.

Myers muttered a few expletives when manager Charlie Manuel went to the mound. Manuel went after Myers in the dugout and the two briefly exchanged words nose-to-nose.
