PHILADELPHIA - April 2, 2012

Rollins, batting in the three-hole instead of leadoff, hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning and lined an RBI double in the third. New leadoff hitter Juan Pierre scored two runs.

Andrew McCutchen hit a solo homer for the Pirates, who used seven different pitchers.

Phillies starter Joe Blanton allowed two runs and three hits in 4 2-3 innings. Blanton retired the first 10 batters he faced.

The teams will open the season at Pittsburgh on Thursday.
