Reading, PA -- Saturday night's Eastern League matchup featured two right-handers trying to regain their form: the Phillies' Zack Segovia and the Altoona Curve's Dewon Brazelton.

Segovia, 24, who began the season in Philadelphia, where he made one start, struggled with the Triple-A Ottawa Lynx, as his 1-9 record and 6.05 ERA will attest. Brazelton, 27, who spent parts of the last five seasons in the big leagues, was making his second Double-A start after being released by Kansas City in late April.

Segovia and the Phillies got the better of it, earning a 3-1 decision before 8,732.

Brazleton allowed three runs and four hits over four innings. He struck out two and walked two, leaving after 61 pitches.

Segovia was touched for an unearned run on four hits in seven innings of work, with five strikeouts and four walks. He threw 107 pitches -- 65 for strikes.

Julio Do La Cruz pitched two scoreless innings and collected his fourth save.

The Phillies (35-38) got a two-run single from Chris Coste in the first and a solo home run from Michael Garciaparra in the second to account for their scoring.

The Curve fell to 36-36.
