PITTSBURGH — The ball landed with a thud when it struck the FedEx sign in right-center field. For Jack Suwinski, it must have felt strange to hit something to that part of PNC Park and have it actually stay in play. Seems all Suwinski does these days at home is hit homers.
Two of his last three. Four in his previous six. Fifteen homers in 50 home games this season entering Monday’s series-opener against the Reds.
Although Suwinski did not homer in this one, he’s probably not going to complain. His two-run double in the seventh inning propelled the Pirates to a four-run rally and ultimately a 8-3 victory over the Reds.
