Heartbreak: 6-5 Phillies over Giants

Heartbreak: It can be the only way to describe Friday evening's loss to the Phillies.  After falling quickly behind 4-0, on one 2-run homer each by Chase Utley, who leads the league with 12 roundtrippers and former Giant Pedro (Pete) Feliz,the Giants scratched back with three runs in the 7th.  Score tied 4-4.  Ex-Phillie Aaron Rowand led off with a homer in the 10th, his third this season, only to see closer Brain Wilson give up a two run shot to left by San Jose's Pat Burrell to lock up the victory for the Phillies.  Two of the first three in the inning were struck out by Wilson.  First baseman Ryan Howardwas tossed for the use of questionable language to Plate Umpire DarrellCousins.  Wilson had two strikes on the Phillies leftfielder, when he left a fastball out over the happy zone and Burrell crushed it.   Giants are now 13-17...On brighter notes: John Bowker, whose average had slipped to near .200, after his really fasr start, collected four singles...Eugenio Velez has three triples, which is tied for the league lead...The Giants lead the league with 34 stolen bases...'Old Man' Ray Durham had two runs knocked in the 7th inning...Giants are now 13-17!
