Josh Palacios’ birthday blast lifts Pirates over Phillies

Looking to carry over the momentum from Saturday’s comeback, the Pittsburgh Pirates used the long ball — and some birthday magic — Sunday afternoon to earn a 6-4 walk-off win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

After Phillies starter Christopher Sanchez was pulled with five no-hit innings in tow, the Pirates attacked reliever Seranthony Dominguez for two runs in the sixth. The rally headlined by a lead-off single from Connor Joe and a home run by Bryan Reynolds.

Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm reclaimed the lead with two runs in the top of the seventh.
