Harrison tied his career high with four hits Friday, going 4-for-6 with a double against the Phillies.
The Pirates had kept Harrison out of the starting lineup twice in their last six games, so he was fresh for Friday's tilt -- good thing as the game went 13 innings and was delayed by rain. He's hitting .271 with a .706 OPS in 218 at-bats, but since May 12 is batting .361/.397/.500 in 116 plate appearances.

Harrison went 0-for-5 Wednesday, giving him two hits in his last 17 at-bats.
Harrison recently missed a start with a sore shoulder. On Wednesday, the third baseman appeared to struggle a bit while throwing across the diamond. He's already committed eight errors in 40 starts at third after making three miscues in 55 third-base starts in 2014. It appears he's capable of playing through his injury, but he's less than 100 percent healthy.

Harrison extended his hitting streak to 10 games on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, two RBI and his second steal of the season.
He's on an absolute tear right now, with six multi-hit performances in his last eight games and a .488 (21-for-43) batting average over the course of the streak. After producing very little over the first six weeks of the season, Harrison seems determined to make up for lost time.
