16-10. Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard homered in the loss for the
Phillies.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Javier Vazquez threw six scoreless innings as
the Marlins finished off a sweep of the Pirates at PNC Park
yesterday, 4-1. The Pirates finished the season series 0-6 against
Florida, with the Marlins now winning 14 of their last 16 against

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pirates have given GM Neal Huntington a
three-year contract extension, with the Pirates showing improvement
through much of the season. The deal extends Huntington through the
2014 season, with a team option for 2015. The Pirates had the lead
in the NL Central in late July, although a 10-game losing skid then
dashed any postseason hopes. They 66-80, two losses short of
ensuring another sub-.500 season.
