It appears the Pirates woke up Zorilla in the seventh inning of the opener at PNC Park. Ben Zobrist has been quite the force at the plate since Kyle Lobstein hit him with a pitch leading off the seventh inning of Monday’s game.
Zobrist is 6-for-15 over the last four games with a double, four home runs, two walks, six runs scored and 12 RBI. Zobrist followed up his first four RBI game in almost a calendar year on Thursday with perfect day at the plate. Zobrist went 2-for-2 on Friday afternoon with two home runs, two walks and four RBI.
