ST. LOUIS -- Clint Hurdle's son, Christian, has gotten into watching a couple of 1990s sitcoms over the past year, including "Seinfeld." So Christian is like any number of fans who find it "hilarious," as Hurdle said, that the Pirates have a pair of rookie infielders named Kramer and Newman.
No, that's not why they were both in the lineup on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium.
Kevin Kramer started at second base and Kevin Newman returned to shortstop against Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas, the first time the 2015 Draft duo started together in the Majors.
