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.

"It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. A look inside some of the key statistics from both quarterbacks from Thursday nights AFC South showdown between the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints:To blitz or not to blitz? On third and 10 with 2:39 remaining and with only one timeout left, the Saints opted to send four pass rushers after Cam Newton, which gave him time to find Kelvin Benjamin for an 18-yard gain that allowed the Panthers to keep possession and drain the clock.Should the Saints have blitzed?Entering the game, the Panthers had converted at an above-average rate on third-down dropbacks when opponents blitzed, and were well below league average when not blitzed. They also far exceeded league average when blitzed needing 10-plus yards.Those trends were holding true Thursday prior to the fateful conversion. The Panthers had one conversion on six third-down dropbacks when not blitzed prior to the completion to Benjamin. They were 3-of-6 against the blitz, converting three of their last four.Newtons big throws dwarf overall inefficiency Cam Newton completed just 42.4 percent of his passes Thursday, his worst completion percentage in any win of his career.dddddddddddd Despite the low clip, Newton did make several big throws Thursday, completing 4-of-7 (57.1 percent) passes thrown 15-plus yards downfield -- including the big third-and-10 conversion in the fourth, and the long touchdown to Ted Ginn Jr. just before the end of the first half.Four of Newtons best five completion percentages 15-plus yards downfield have now occurred in Panthers wins this season.Too little, too late for Brees? Drew Brees average pass traveled 4.2 yards past the line of scrimmage Thursday, the third-shortest single-game average of his Saints career and his shortest since 2011.Brees threw a season-high 31 attempts within five yards of the line of scrimmage in the game, and potentially waited too long to start airing it out further.Why so many short passes?Brees was blitzed on only 13 percent of his dropbacks Thursday (6 of 47), the lowest blitz rate hes faced this season, which means he faced at least seven in coverage on 87 percent of his dropbacks.
