The Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates close out their 3-game series in Pittsburgh Sunday from PNC Park.

The highlights were few and far between today for the Phillies. Ranger Suarez was very good yet again, making it difficult to say that he should be the one to move to the bullpen in the near future. The game got off to a decent start when Kyle Schwarber destroyed a baseball to give the Phillies a brief lead.

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

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.
