Garrett Jones and Delwyn Young drove in two runs each during Pittsburgh's comeback six-run seventh inning, and the last-place Pirates beat the sliding Phillies for the third time in four games, 8-5 at PNC Park.
Pirates rookie Pedro Alvarez started the rally with his second homer in as many games and drove in two runs, while Jones had three RBIs as the Pirates won their fourth in five games. They are 5-2 since losing 18 of 20.
The defending NL champion Phillies couldn't hold a 5-2 lead in losing their fourth in five games and fifth in seven games heading into an important homestand in which they play NL East-leading Atlanta three times and NL Central-leading Cincinnati four times.
