PHILADELPHIA - June Manuel, 87, mother of Phillies' manager Charlie Manuel, passed away in Roanoke, Va. Memorial Hospital this morning after a brief illness. She is survived by 10 children.

Manuel will manage the team this afternoon in Game 2 vs. LA, up 1-0 as a result of a 3-2 win over the Dodgers last night.
