PITTSBURGH (AP) — Josh Palacios hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied twice from two runs down to beat the Phillies 6-4 on Sunday and take the three-game series. Palacios led off the 10th by driving a slider from Andrew Vasquez (2-1) 367 feet to right. He celebrated his 28th birthday with his second homer of the season as the Pirates took two of three from the Phillies, who fell a half-game behind in the hunt for the third NL wild card. Palacios is the first Pirates player to hit a walkoff home run on his birthday, according to Elias Sports Bureau. He went 3 for 5.
