It’s always a welcome sight to see the Pirates win. There’s a big difference between their wins at the start of this week, versus at the end of the week.
Their victories early this week were fueled by home runs from Carlos Santana. The first baseman homered twice in Monday’s victory, and homered again in the win on Wednesday. He was traded to the Brewers on Thursday.
On Saturday night, the Pirates won. This time, it wasn’t on the back of rental free agents. Instead, it was their top hitting prospects who stepped up. More on the game and the two biggest performers below.
