Bryan Reynolds is a man on a mission.
It’s hard to say if the Dennis Eckersley’s “Hodgepodge of nothingness” comment started a fire, because Reynolds has been on a tear in the month of August.
On Thursday night the Pittsburgh Pirates avoided their seventh loss and second consecutive series sweep by scoring early and scoring often. To sweeten the deal the Pirates also got a beautiful pitching display by JT Brubaker.
Brubaker pitched a quick first inning setting down the Boston Red Sox on 15 pitches collecting two strikeouts on the first two batters of the inning.
