NEW YORK (AP) - Philadelphia Phillies minor league pitcher Alvaro Bacil has been suspended 50 games after a positive drug test. The right-handed Bacil was suspended Friday after testing positive for a metabolite of Boldenone, a performance-enhancing substance that violates the minor league drug program. Bacil went 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 11 appearances for the Phillies' Dominican summer league team. His suspension will begin at the start of next season.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.
