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.

Besides, once it came, Kemp’s head spun. There were phone calls (first up: his parents in California) and travel arrangements to make. His wife, Lily, and their dog piled in the car at 5:30 a.m. and drove to Pittsburgh from Charlotte, N.C., where the Phillies’ triple-A club was playing; Kemp hopped a 90-minute flight.

The Philadelphia Phillies announced Saturday that they placed first baseman Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list.

Otto Kemp has a golden opportunity, one that he’s created for himself by hitting his way from Division II Point Loma Nazarene University to and through the Phillies’ farm system and up to the major leagues this weekend.
