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.

He is hitting .258/.368/.446 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 57 games for the Phillies. While losing his bat creates a hole in the middle of Philadelphia's lineup, ensuring Harper's health in the long run is surely more important for a team in contention.

The Phillies placed Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list due to his ailing right wrist before Saturday’s game against the Pirates. This came after the two-time National League MVP sat out of the Phillies’ 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh on Friday night.
