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.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Alex Cobb left the hospital and went home Sunday, one day after he was hit in the right ear by a line drive. The Rays announced during their game against Kansas City that Cobb had been released from Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. The team said he will be placed on the seven-day concussion list. There was no timetable for when Cobb will rejoin the rotation. Cobb texted teammates Sunday morning, including pitcher Matt Moore, saying he had a headache but would soon be out of the hospital. In a message posted on his Twitter account, Cobb thanked Rays head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield and the doctors at Bayfront, and said that he "Woke up with only a minor headache." Cobb was struck by a liner off the bat of Kansas Citys Eric Hosmer in the fifth inning of Saturdays game but remained conscious the whole time. He was taken off the field on a stretcher. Moore was among a group of around 15 players, which included Hosmer and former Cobb teammates and current Royals James Shields and Elliot Johnson, who went to the hospital after Saturdays game. "I think he was very happy to see how many people wanted to come and see him," Moore said. It was a tough week for Cobb, who left the team after starting Monday nights game against Boston due to the death of his grandmother. He was informed of the death after the game in which the 25-year old gave up a season-high six runs over four innings in a 10-8, 14-inning loss to the Red Sox. This latest incident of a pitcher being hit by a batted ball is sure to spark more discussions about new pitching protection equipment. "Whoever comes up with the solution for this, theyre never going to have to work again in their lives," Rays pitcher David Price said. "Its scary. We know about that. You think about it, and then you dont think about it when youre on the mound. But when you seee it happen, and you see line drives and hard groundballs up the middle, it definitely cross your mind.dddddddddddd." Moore said he would be willing to wear headgear if it was developed. "A cricket helmet, or whatever it was, I would give it my best effort to make sure I pitch with that," Moore said. "If I could prevent something like that by wearing something, without a doubt I would." While pitching for Oakland last Sept. 5, Brandon McCarthy sustained what were described at the time as life-threatening injuries when he was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Erick Aybar of the Angels. The pitcher had an epidural hemorrhage, brain contusion and a skull fracture. Emergency surgery was performed that night and he was released from the hospital six days later. McCarthy, now with Arizona, is taking medication and says hes confident hell be fine after he recently collapsed at a restaurant with a seizure related to the head injury he sustained while pitching last September. The Diamondbacks right-hander underwent extensive examinations at the Mayo Clinic after the episode Monday. He was having dinner with his wife at a Phoenix restaurant when he passed out. "You never want to see anybody go through that," Shields said. "You just never know whats going to come out of it. You look at McCarthy, he walked off the field. Next thing you know, theyre doing surgery on him." Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ was also struck by a liner against the Rays last month at Tropicana Field and sustained a skull fracture. Happ was discharged from an area hospital the following day. The left-hander hurt his knee when he fell to the mound and remains on the disabled list. Rays reliever Jamey Wright feels it is imperative that the issue continue to receive serious review. "We dont want somebody getting killed before something is done about it," Wright said. ' ' '
