During the months of April and May the Pittsburgh Pirates’ offense was, well, offensive. This is a big reason why the team finished with a losing a record in each of these months.
Honestly, the poor offensive results should not have been a huge surprise. Jung Ho Kang has not played this season, stupid government, Starling Marte played 13 games and got suspended, and Andrew McCutchen did not hit at all during the season’s first two months.
However, when the May calendar turned to June the Pittsburgh Pirates offensive seemingly woke up.
