The Pittsburgh Pirates opened a seven-game homestand with a bang on Monday as Joshua Palacios collected three hits and drove in five runs in a 11-1 thrashing of the St. Louis Cardinals. Palacios’ three hits contributed to a 16-hit affair for the Pirates while they held the Redbirds to only five.
The Pirates got on the board with two runs in the first, then Liover Peguero added another pair with an opposite field single in the third. Four more runs came across in the fourth, three coming off a home run by Palacios.
HE'S THE BIG BROTHER.
