McCutchen, Smoak Lead Buccos past Brewers
Andrew McCutchen hit his first 2 HRs of the season and Justin Smoak hit a HR in his first AB as a Pirate to lead the Pirates to a 7-5 victory over the Brewers.
McCutchen said "It feels great to finally hit a couple out. I came close a couple times earlier, plus we won so its a great night." In going 2 for 5 McCutchen extended his hitting streak to 12 games.
McCutchen blasts his 2nd HR of the night
Smoak who made it to PNC Park just a couple of hours before game time, found himself in the starting line-up at first base for the Pirates. "It is truly a surreal experience, my first AB as a Pirate and I hit a HR to center, it was awesome. This ballpark is beautiful. I am so grateful tot he Pirates for believing in me and trading for me. The Rangers organization was wonderful, and I have heard great things about the Pirates."
Smoak didn't disappoint in his first game, hitting this HR
Bucco Bits Jeff Clement was optioned to AAA Indianapolis after the game.
The series continues tomorrow night at PNC with a 7:05 start time.
