Bucs get behind Nova to take down Phillies

The Pirates chased Velasquez from the game with a four-run sixth inning. Freese walked and John Jaso singled, and both advanced into scoring position on a throwing error by catcher Cameron Rupp. Francisco Cervelli singled home both runners, and Frazier -- now batting .358 on the year -- added a two-run single through the left side.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Two-out rally: With the Phillies holding a 1-0 lead, Velasquez had a chance to get out of the third inning with little trouble, retiring the first two hitters he faced on 10 pitches.
