Jul. 6—Even though Ben Gamel was amid a career-best performance, when the Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder heard the M-V-P chants from the left field bleachers at PNC Park, he thought they were directed at someone else.
"I thought they were for Bryan (Reynolds) in center," a smiling Gamel said of his All-Star teammate.
Gamel went 3 for 5 with two homers to dead center sandwiched around a double for a career-high six RBIs, and Chase De Jong earned his first major league win in three years as the Pirates clobbered the Atlanta Braves, 11-1, Monday night before 11,600 at PNC Park.
