DETROIT -- Throughout the 2-11 stretch to start the month of May, players and coaches alike have been talking about getting back to what the Pirates want to do on offense.
Just one night after being thwarted yet again in a 4-0 shutout, the lineup responded with an 8-0 beating of the Tigers on Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park. The offense compiled 14 total hits, and did exactly what they've been wanting to do on offense to stop the bleeding.
"That was a game we needed offensively," Derek Shelton said.
