A day after beating Marauders, two Threshers dealt to Houston

Thursday, Jarred Cosart threw seven shutout innings at The Bradenton Marauders.
Friday, he was part of a package that helped bring Houston's Hunter Pence to the Philadelphia Phillies, the parent club of the high Single-A Clearwater Threshers.
The Threshers beat Bradenton 3-1 Thursday, when Cosart allowed no runs on six hits in seven innings.
He beat the Marauders twice this season, not allowing a run in 14 innings against them.
Considered one of the Phillies' best prospects, Cosart, 21, is 9-8 with a 3.82 ERA.
Joining him will be Threshers' first baseman Jonathan Singleton. Just 19, Singleton is batting .282 with nine home runs and 47 RBIs for Clearwater - though his future with Philadelphia was murky considering Ryan Howard, the team's All-Star first baseman, is just 31.
The Astros will also receive another player to be named later from Clearwater, along with pitcher Josh Zeid, according to ESPN.com. Zeid is 2-3 with a 5.65 with the Phillies' Double-A team in Reading, Pa.
