Despite the Pirates’ continued offensive struggles, Neil Walker is swinging a hot bat, elevating his average to what we expected it to be at the beginning of the season. His two-run homerun on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds got the Bucs on the board, helping propel them to a 3-2 victory in front of a crowd of 30,000+ at PNC Park.
The Pirates did lose the series to the Reds, scoring only four runs total in the three games. Here’s a clip of Neil Walker’s interview following Saturday night’s victory, courtesy of OVAthletics:
After a day off today, the Pirates will be back in action for the remainder of the week with back-to-back series against the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros at PNC Park.
And…
As Always…
Let’s Go Bucs!
