DENVER — Austin Hedges and Canaan Smith-Njigba sat at a table, surrounded by teammates while playing an intense game of Connect Four prior to the first game of this series.
For the past two days, Duane Underwood Jr. and Dauri Moreta have squared off in chess. But over the course of 27 innings at Coors Field, the Pirates really didn’t do much playing around.
Carrying some seriously hot bats, they took it to the Colorado Rockies, including a 14-3 victory in the series finale on Wednesday, and flew home to Pittsburgh sporting plenty of smiles following a 5-2 road trip.
