Song's 30-day rehab assignment ended this week, forcing the Phillies to decide whether to add the Rule 5 pick to the active roster or expose him to waivers and offer him back to the Red Sox if he is not claimed. Song went 1-0 with a 7.36 ERA in eight games in stints with three of Philadelphia's minor league teams.

Song hadn't pitched in a professional game since Aug. 23 after the Navy granted his transfer from active duty to the reserves. Song reported to major league spring training on Feb. The 26-year-old Song was taken by the Phillies from Boston in the winter meeting draft in December with hopes he would play after military service. The Phillies must decide Saturday whether to keep right-hander Noah Song on their major-league roster or place him on waivers. After the rain stopped, workers were forced to apply a drying agent to the uncovered area, significantly lengthening the delay. It was unable to get the tarp completely unfurled and the first base line was left uncovered. The PNC Park grounds crew had major trouble getting the infield covered during the delay. He was removed from the game following a 42-minute rain delay in the seventh inning.Ĭraig Kimbrel worked around a two-out walk in a scoreless ninth for his 17th save as the Phillies won for the fourth time in five games. That was enough offense for Wheeler (8-5), who gave up one run and three hits while walking one after being winless in his previous three starts.

Bryson Stott had two hits for Philadelphia. Schwarber, 1 for 22 in his previous seven games, also doubled and walked three times. Brandon Marsh walked to lead off the inning before Schwarber unloaded with one out.

Schwarber's blast, his 27th of the season, came off All-Star Mitch Keller in the third inning and carried into the Phillies' bullpen in center field. Kyle Schwarber broke out of a slump by hitting a two-run home run and reaching base in all five plate appearances, Zack Wheeler struck out 11 in 6 2/3 innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 on Friday night.
