The bats finally came alive. The Pirates erupted for 8 runs in the Pittsburgh heat, snapping out of a slow start to take down the Rangers. Tommy Pham had his legacy game—two doubles after going nearly 60 days without an extra-base hit. Mitch Keller asked “what the hell?” after getting no run support in his starts.

Spencer Horwitz chipped in. Ke’Bryan Hayes looked sharp. And when Texas brought in Caleb Boushley to eat innings, the Pirates racked up 10 hits off him alone. As Jim put it: “Thank you, Rangers, for just giving this game away.”

Oh—and yes, that means two lucky fans earned free Primanti’s sandwiches.

Hit play, raise the Jolly Roger, and enjoy a rare offensive outburst.
