Here’s a recap of Thursday’s action around winter ball for players on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
In Venezuela, Diego Castillo went 2-for-4 with two singles, raising him to a .373 average, while giving him a 1.069 OPS in 20 games.
In the Dominican, Oneil Cruz went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored, which was the only run in a 1-0 11 inning game. Despite his big game over the weekend in which he homered and reached base five times, he has a .222 average and a .753 OPS in the very early stages of his winter.
