Phillies pitcher Sean O'Sullivan got blasted in an emergency start Thursday against the Astros, but somehow escaped with a no-decision. He allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings of work.

Two home runs to Chris Carter and one to Marc Krauss proved costly for the right-hander in his second appearance of the season. He owns a 6.94 ERA through 11 2/3 innings.
