Pirates Prospect Watch: Henry Davis is Showing Improvements at the Plate

Henry Davis entered Sunday’s game with Indianapolis as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. Carrying an eight game hitting streak into the game, it didn’t take long for him to keep that streak alive. Davis homered in the at-bat, as part of a nine run inning for Indianapolis.

The home run was a solo shot with two outs, giving the Indians a 2-1 lead. That wasn’t the only hit Davis had in the inning. The Pirates’ Triple-A squad batted around, with Davis coming up again with runners at first and second. A line drive single brought in another run, putting Indianapolis up 9-1.
