Bryce Harper off schneid, but Philliess Falter against Pirates, ex-teammate

Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter allowed one run over five innings to beat his former team, leading the Pirates over the Phillies 5-2 on Friday night as Phillies star Bryce Harper broke out of an 0-for-18 slide with two hits. David Bednar pitched a perfect ninth for his second save in five chances, and Henry Davis doubled, singled and drove in two runs. Bryan Reynolds and Connor Joe also had RBIs for the Pirates, who took advantage of some sloppy play by Philadelphia.
