PITTSBURGH — Jack Suwinski thought about the question for a second and laughed: When was the last time he hit leadoff? Tampa last year, Suwinski eventually recalled (correctly). As far as his last single ... well, different story.
The improbable storylines came to an improbable intersection in the seventh inning Wednesday, in the middle of an improbable game and an improbable comeback for the Pirates.
Suwinski’s dribbler up the right side, which didn’t even register on Statcast, encapsulated what was a strange day on the North Shore, one that resulted in a 5-4 comeback victory for the Pirates.
