Burrell And Myers Lead Phillies To 7-4 Win Over St. Louis

Pat Burrell had three hits and two RBIs, and Brett Myers had another solid outing, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.

``He's the real deal,'' St. Louis manager Tony La Russa said.

``I tried to stop overthrowing and make good pitches,'' said Myers, who has pitched well this season after struggling last year. ``I made two mistakes and they hit them out.''

``We came up with a couple more big hits, but the whole thing revolves around pitching and Brett has been real good for us,'' Burrell said.
