The Phillies chose to call up Crouse from the minor leagues rather than throw an actual bullpen game. The 23-year-old righty gave up two hits and walked four in three innings.

Crouse was acquired by the Phillies at the trade deadline from the Texas Rangers along with Kyle Gibson and Ian Kennedy for pitcher Spencer Howard.

Kranick (2-3) went five innings and combined with four relievers on a six-hitter.

Kranick, who in July became the first pitcher in 127 years to throw five perfect innings in his major league debut, had a second straight solid start after being recalled from the minors a week earlier. He allowed four hits, walked three and struck out five.

The 24-year-old righty, who grew up about two hours north of Philadelphia in Scranton, had about 50 family members and friends at the game.

“Too many of them are Phillies fans,” Kranick said. “If today is the one reason (the Phillies) don’t make the playoffs, they’re going to be mad at me.”

Chasen Shreve, David Bednar, Nick Mears and Chris Stratton shut down the Phillies over the final four innings, allowing just two singles. Pirates pitchers combined for 11 strikeouts, including six in the last three innings.
