PITTSBURGH -- Fresh off a frustrating pair of losses in Minnesota, Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison offered a bit of good news. After going 3-for-5 at the plate and reaching on a bunt single, Harrison said Wednesday was the first day he'd been able to sprint at full speed and "play with no reservations" since the All-Star break.
"It's been a while," he said.
Harrison sustained a left hamstring strain in the Pirates' first-half finale and didn't play in the first series after the break. He admittedly wasn't at full strength upon his return, either, but Wednesday offered proof that he may be rounding back into form.
