SAN FRANCISCO -- Yeah, Joe Musgrove pitched five shutout innings, struck out seven, walked none, scored a run and blasted a triple into right field during the Pirates' 4-2 Game 4 win over the Giants on Friday.
We'll get to all that in a second.
Right now, I wanna turn to Musgrove's batterymate, Jacob Stallings. Because, I mean, who saw this version of Stallings showing up in 2019? All Stallings did in this game was rip a solo shot into the stands in the seventh, his second homer of the trip here at Oracle Park, to give the Pirates a cozy 4-2 lead:
"It's fun to hit homers," Stallings offered with a sheepish smile at his locker after the game.
