The Pirates’ started their road trip by blasting the White Sox in Chicago.
Joe Block has the story.
Manager Donnie Kelly says the offensive output in the very first inning was good to see, especially after the Pirates had scored just three runs in three games over the weekend.
Kelly says Bubba Chandler had great stuff right from his first pitch.
The Pirates will look to make it two in a row in Chicago and eight wins in their last ten games tonight, and they’ll go with a bullpen game. Lake Bachar (1-3, 3.59 ERA) will get the start against Davis Martin (9-6, 4.13 ERA). Airtime is 7:15, first pitch at 7:40 on WCCS.
First baseman/outfielder Ryan O’Hearn was 1-for-3 with a double in his first rehab start for Indianapolis, which lost to Omaha 6-1.
