April 21 -- BEATEN BY FLOYD

CINCINNATI -- Even Gavin Floyd is beating the Phillies.

Well, sort of.

Floyd (left) got his first victory of the season last night for the White Sox's triple-A affiliate by beating the Phillies' triple-A club, Ottawa. Floyd, the former first-round pick who received a $4.2 million signing bonus in 2001 before flaming out in each of the past two seasons and getting traded to Chicago in the Freddy Garcia deal, allowed five hits and three walks and struck out six over six innings.

Also, LHP Eude Brito won't be helping the Phillies' bullpen any time soon. Ottawa placed Brito on the disabled list with a groin strain.

More from the ballpark later.
