Man, these two are having a fun spring. The Pittsburgh Pirates continued their preseason fascination with the long ball, with two red hot hitters going yard once again as Diego Castillo and Bryan Reynolds both homered today to give the Buccos a 9-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
First it was Castillo with a two-run blast in the third to put Pittsburgh up 4-0. Castillo finished the day 4-for-4 with 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored. This was Castillo’s sixth homer of the spring, and you’ll likely see him out there on Opening Day, especially with it sounding more and more like Ke’Bryan Hayes won’t quite be ready.
