J.A. Happ was scheduled to make his first start of the season tonight in the second game of a day-night doubleheader, but Manuel used Happ out of his depleted bullpen. Happ got the win after closing the game with two scoreless innings.
Manuel's only other option, Jack Taschner, pitched two innings Wednesday.
Manuel said righthander Drew Carpenter, 23, would be called up from triple-A Lehigh Valley to pitch tonight. The Phillies will make room for Carpenter by sending pinch-hitter Miguel Cairo to the IronPigs.
"We burned Happ, but we won the game," Manuel said.
