PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates cant feel all that excited about their victory Saturday because of an injury to their top pitching prospect.Tyler Glasnow was removed with shoulder discomfort before Gregory Polanco and David Freese hit two-run singles during a five-run fifth inning that rallied Pittsburgh over the Philadelphia Phillies 7-4.Glasnow exited his second major league start in the fourth. The rookie right-hander was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day and allowed two runs (one earned) and four hits in three-plus innings. The 6-foot-8 22-year-old is one of the best pitching prospects in baseball.Manager Clint Hurdle said he had no sense at all of the severity of the injury, but Glasnow did not seem overly concerned.He didnt notice or tell us or share anything with us until just visually we saw him moving his arm around like it was uncomfortable, Hurdle said. We went out and talked to him and removed him.Its a long year and youre always going to have things come up, Glasnow said. It was kind of a progression, I guess, inning by inning got a little worse and they felt like it was time for me to come out.Polancos hit put the Pirates ahead 4-3 and chased starter Aaron Nola. Freeses hit off Severino Gonzalez pushed the lead to three runs, and Francisco Cervelli capped the inning with a sacrifice fly to help Pittsburgh win for the fourth time in six games.Cervelli went 2 for 3 and was the only Pirates player with multiple hits -- the Phillies outhit Pittsburgh 12-8. Starling Marte and Jordy Mercer also drove in runs.Juan Nicasio (8-6) allowed one run in two innings in relief of Glasnow. Nicasio tied left-handers Jeff Locke and Jon Niese for the team lead in wins, though all three are now pitching out of the bullpen after beginning the season in the starting rotation.When Glasnow left, the score was tied 2-2 and the Phillies had runners on first and second with none out, but Nicasio escaped the jam unscathed.Nicasio came in and did exactly what we needed him to, second baseman Josh Harrison said. At the end of the day, it gave us time to keep plugging away and we got to the fifth inning and were able to come up with a big inning.Mark Melancon closed with a scoreless inning for his 29th save.Glasnow also hit two batters, including catcher Cameron Rupp, who left the game in the third inning after being struck in the left ear flap of his helmet. Rupp did not display any concussion symptoms but will be re-examined Sunday as part of Major League Baseballs protocol for head injuries.Nola (5-9) was tagged for six runs and six hits in four-plus innings with five strikeouts and two walks. That was a step backward from his last start when he pitched six shutout innings against the Miami Marlins on the heels of giving up 30 combined runs in his previous five outings.When hes at his best, he has control of all his pitches, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. Hes lost his control and he needs to a find a way to get it back.Odubel Herrera had his second straight three-hit game for the Phillies after going 4 for 41 in his previous 11 games.Cesar Hernandez hit a pair of RBI singles and was one of four Phillies with two hits along with Andres Blanco, Tommy Joseph and Carlos Ruiz, who took over behind the plate for Rupp. Blanco and Joseph hit run-scoring singles.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: 3B Maikel Franco (sore left wrist) sat out after being hit by a pitch in the first inning of Friday nights 4-0 win. Franco is considered day-to-day.Pirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (facial fractures) played catch before the game after leaving his rehab start Wednesday with Indianapolis after four innings because of a stiff neck.ROSTER MOVESIn addition to Glasnow, C Elias Diaz was recalled from Indianapolis while RHP AJ Schugel was optioned to the same club. C Eric Fryer was placed on the paternity list after his wife gave birth to twins -- a boy and a girl -- on Saturday.UP NEXTPhillies: RHP Vince Velasquez (8-2, 3.15 ERA) will start Sunday in the finale of the three-game series. He is 3-0 with a 2.20 ERA in six starts since his last loss May 29.Pirates: RHP Jameson Taillon (2-1, 3.44) has allowed one run in six innings in each of his last two starts.Cory Joseph Jersey .

McIlroy is Europes unquestioned leader, a three-time major winner who is ranked third in the world and one of the best drivers of the ball in golf. Reed, who is ranked No. 8 but isnt nearly as long off the tee, was featured on the front of this months Golf Digest under the title How to Dominate With Your Driver.And on this day he was every bit as good as his press. The two traded birdies and stares all afternoon, with McIlroy turning to the crowd after rolling in a tough 40-footer at No. 8, pumping both fists and practically daring the gallery to boo.When Reed responded by sinking his own birdie from 20 feet, he pulled the ball out of the cup and turned to face McIlroy, then wagged his index finger in a show of defiance. But to prove that sportsmanship was as much a part of the bargain as gamesmanship, the two exchanged fist bumps before they resumed the battle on the next tee.I consider everybody, whether its the European side, captains, vice captains ... a big Ryder Cup family, Reed said, said just moments after his 1-up victory set the tone for the Americans 17-11 win, their first since 2008 and only their third dating to 1993.We want to beat them at their best, he added, and they want to beat us at our best.Reed came to Hazeltine after posting a 3-0-1 mark in his only previous appearance, at Gleneagles in 2014, and forged a partnership with Jordan Spieth that was something to see.dddddddddddd They played all four sessions in the first two days, taking on Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson -- the Olympic gold and silver medalist, respectively -- in three of those matches and winning twice.But they were almost denied that fourth match, when Reed made seven birdies and an eagle on his own ball -- arguably his finest moment amid a handful of great ones here. Days earlier, Tiger Woods, serving as a U.S. vice captain in these matches, had told Reed hed likely have to sit out one of the foursomes or four-ball sessions. Reed listened dutifully, then simply told Woods, You are not sitting me on any matches.That bit of defiance hinted at why Reeds teammates dubbed him Captain America. It also put Woods squarely in his corner. So when captain Davis Love thought about sitting Reed and Spieth for the second session Saturday, it was Woods who went to bat for the pair.We all kind of had a little bit different idea, Love recalled. Even my son threw a lineup out. Hes my cart driver, and he says, `Heres a lineup. I finally just said to Tiger, `Are we playing them or are we sitting them? He said, `No, you have to send them back out there.Good thing, too.I knew today was going to be tough, going against a guy like Rory, especially how he was playing earlier this week, Reed said. To come out and play as well as we both did, especially on that front nine, was definitely something fun to be part of.Pretty sure, he added a moment later, it was fun to watch, too.And for members of the U.S. Ryder Cup task force, it was must-see TV.
