The record books will stay closed for now. Almost thirty years ago the Milwaukee Brewers set a major league record by scoring 5 or less runs in their first 31 games.
The Buccos needed only 22 games for such an accomplishment. With a 9-3 win at Atlanta last night there is signs of life in the bats of the Pittsburgh Pirates. After a pair of 2 run home runs from Pedro Alvarez and Yamaico Navarro, Pirate fans can breathe a sigh of relief for the first time all season.
James Mcdonald rebounded nicely after allowing a first inning home run to pitch a solid 7.2 innings. Every batter in the starting lineup had at least one hit (yes that includes Rod Barajas who went 1-3 with a run scored on the day) as the Buccos were all smiles in the dugout Monday Night. Will this be the spark they've waiting for all season? Only time can tell, but you have to be anxious to see what Pedro and the Pirates will do next.
