PITTSBURGH — Call it potential contract leverage, symmetry or just plain dominance. Doesn't matter. Bryan Reynolds is in some kind of zone right now, and the White Sox — in a Pirates home opener that was supposed to be about Andrew McCutchen — paid the price.
Reynolds, who wound up as the primary piece the Pirates got back from the San Francisco Giants in that January 2018 trade for McCutchen, had another monster day, as the Pirates outslugged the Chicago White Sox, 13-9, on Friday at PNC Park.
This was billed as McCutchen’s first game back at PNC Park in a Pirates uniform since Sept. 27, 2017, and it certainly lived up to expectations in terms of excitement.
