CHESTER, Pa. Simon Mignolet Jersey . -- Even with a brand new coaching staff in place, the result was more of the same. Ten-man Toronto FC slumped to a 1-0 defeat in Philadelphia on Wednesday night, the clubs first game since the firing of manager Ryan Nelsen and most of his coaching staff. Greg Vanneys first challenge in charge of TFC was a home and home series against the Union, with the teams playing two games against each other in just four days. Toronto started slowly at PPL Park on Wednesday and couldnt overcome a second half red card, but the new manager was pleased with his teams improvement and effort as the game went on. "We got ourselves into good positions," Vanney told reporters post-game. "Was it the overall performance we were looking for? Not exactly. But we worked. The guys worked their socks off the entire match. Even a man down they created some problems. Credit to the guys for that. Weve got to turn around in the next four days and sort out a few details, but I think there are some things to learn from this match and hopefully we can improve in the next one." Vanney made two changes to the side that lost 3-0 at home to New England last week. Ashtone Morgan was preferred at left back, with Mark Bloom moving to the right side of defence and Nick Hagglund pairing centrally with Doneil Henry. Gilberto was dropped for Daniel Lovitz, who started wide and pushed Dominic Oduro from the midfield into a more advanced role. The team is now 9-10-6 on the season, tied with Columbus and Philadelphia on 33 points. "This is a good group, a group that comes every day ready to challenge each other and push each other," said midfielder Michael Bradley. "Each guy is ready to give everything for the sake of the group. When you go through a difficult time, its normal that there are conversations, and guys are challenging each other, and that questions are being asked amongst ourselves. In a big game tonight, I still thought the effort, the commitment, the energy, and all of these things were there. They made one more play than we did, and, unfortunately, thats football sometimes." Goalkeeper Joe Bendik was called into action early on, denying a Conor Casey effort that looked bound for the bottom corner. Toronto had failed to deal with a Cristian Maidana set piece, and the ball squirted free for a right-footed effort from the penalty marker. Torontos best chance of the first half came in the 34th minute, when Maurice Edu was whistled for a handball just outside the box, positioned dead centre in front of the goal. Bradley took the free kick for TFC, but blasted his shot into the Union wall, and Philadelphia cleared. It was a 0-0 game at the half, and Vanney brought in Gilberto for Jonathan Osorio, after it appeared that the midfielder had picked up a bit of an injury and hobbled into the tunnel. Bendik was again up to the task in the second half, denying the Union on a well-taken corner kick. Amobi Okugo rose to attack Maidanas service, and the netminder got a big right hand to the headed effort, keeping the home side off the board. But he couldnt keep the Union out in the 55th minute. Collecting the ball wide right, the lively Maidana sprung Sebastien Le Toux brilliantly into open space. Pushing into the penalty area, the French striker hit a perfect cross for Casey to hammer home from point blank range. MacMath then stoned Gilberto on a solid try from 16 yards out on the other end. Morgan was sent off in the 76th minute, after he pulled down Le Toux during a Union breakaway. Hagglund had turned the ball over in the Union half, forcing Morgan to chase from behind. The left back was shown a straight red card for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity. "Its a tough one to take for us," midfielder Collen Warner added. "We wanted to at least get a point coming in here, obviously. It seems like were in a bit of a slump, but its not something that isnt necessarily expected. Its a long season and were facing a lot of injuries at the moment. The guys gave everything tonight, and thats what I take away from it. Were still fighting through this and things will turn. Its the way it works and were just waiting to catch our break, then well be off." Toronto now takes a four-game winless streak back to BMO Field for Saturdays return match.

Patton told The Baltimore Sun that he took an Adderall pill four days before the season finished, trying to improve his short-term focus. "I took one because I was stupid," Patton told The Sun.PITTSBURGH -- Taking the extra base was the key for the Pittsburgh Pirates in completing a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies. Andrew McCutchen hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning, Neil Walker followed with a home run and the Pirates overcame a three-run deficit to beat the Rockies 5-3 Sunday. Walker advanced to second on right fielder Carlos Gonzalezs throw following his second-inning single. Jordy Mercer stole second in the sixth inning, and Josh Harrison swiped second in the seventh. All three wound up scoring. "Were going to be aggressive," Walker said. "Were going to get thrown out. Were going to look stupid at times, but at the same time were going to make aggressive plays that lead to runs." With the score 3-all, Matt Belisle (2-6) relieved and Harrison worked out a seven-pitch walk leading off the seventh. Harrison stole second and scored on a single by McCutchen, who then was caught stealing second. Walker followed with his 14th homer. "Today was amateur, as far as what not to do," said Belisle, who got just two outs. Pittsburgh took the lead against Colorados bullpen for the third straight day. "Youve got to be a able to put games away, and its frustrating," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. Jeanmar Gomez (2-2) pitched a one-hit seventh, All-Star Tony Watson struck out two in a perfect eighth and Mark Melancon pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 18th save in 21 chances. Pittsburgh has two series sweeps this month after failing to sweep any during the first three months of the season. The Pirates took three in a row at home againnst Philadelphia from July 4-6.

The rookie struck out a career-high eight. "Tyler did a great job," Weiss said. "Put us in position (to win) again. Thats three good starts in a row by our starters, but (we) couldnt get the big hit to bust it open early." Colorado built its lead on Josh Rutledges two-run homer in the first and a Michael McKenry drive leading off the second. Mercer had a two-run single in the bottom half, and Chris Stewarts second double of the game drove Mercer in the sixth. Pittsburgh had come from behind in 25 of its 52 wins. "If you get too caught up in the score or too caught up in things that are out of your control, its going to lead to pressing and trying to do too much," Walker said. "We do a good job of not doing that around there." NOTES: Colorado didnt play 1B Justin Morneau (neck), SS Troy Tulowitzki (thigh) and OF Charlie Blackmon (ankle). ...
