Roy Halladay appears to be back on track. Too bad the Phillies' bullpen bullpen picked last night to run off the tracks.
That's the way it seems to go with this team.
Charlie Manuel shook up his lineup again, breaking up Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. It paid immediate dividends with the two left-handers both hitting homers against a left-handed pitcher.
Halladay gave the Phillies six strong innings, giving up just one run on one hit.
But the Phillies still managed to lose a game they easily could have win. This time it was the bullpen whose fingerprints were all over the knife. Three relievers, Antonio Bastardo, Mike Adams and Jeremy Horst all gave up runs as the Phils fell to the Pirates, 5-3.

The Phils will be right back at it this afternoon, with the first Business Person's Special of the Season, clearing the decks for Chip Kelly and his first NFL Draft as boss of the Eagles tonight.
