Paul Skenes delivered another excellent start and Andrew McCutchen brought home the game-winning run for the Pittsburgh Pirates in their 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies to complete the weekend sweep at PNC Park.

Phillies Swept by Pirates, Have Won 1 Game Over Past 10

Despite more excellent starting pitching, the Phillies found a way to lose all three games, as the Pirates swept the series by winning each game by one run, with each go-ahead run coming in the seventh inning or later. Two of three Pirates wins in the series came in Pittsburgh's last at-bat, including a walk-off win Friday night.

Phillies on the ropes. Two batters later, Romano gave up a fly ball to left field. Max Kepler drifted back to catch it, but there wasn’t much point. Adam Frazier trotted home to score the winning run Friday night in the Pirates’ 5-4 walk-off victory that sent the Phillies to their seventh loss in eight games.

Henry Davis hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 2-1 victory over Philadelphia after the slumping Phillies placed star first baseman Bryce Harper on the injured list before the game with right wrist inflammation.

The Philadelphia Phillies have hit a bit of a rough patch recently, following up arguably their hottest stretch of the season with some underwhelming play.

The lone run came on Kyle Schwarber’s solo homer in the first inning Saturday. In seven games without Bryce Harper, the Phillies are now 1-6.
