The Pirate Offense

Kicking off the series the Pittsburgh Pirates scored just 1 run on Friday night. The rest of the series, Bucco batters would come ready to hit the ball.

The Pittsburgh Pirates scored 6 runs in a loss on Saturday night, 5 wins in a victory on Sunday afternoon and 5 wins again in a loss on Monday night. In the series, the Pirates hit five home runs, four doubles and a triple.

Furthermore, in the series Josh Bell appeared to be getting it going at the plate. Also, Erik Gonzalez had a big series to get back on track after struggling in recent weeks. It was also good to see Colin Moran draw a pair of walks in his return from the concussion IL on Monday night, and Cole Tucker keeps hitting, too.
