Despite picking up 8 hits along the way for the Pittsburgh Pirates offense, most of them were singles that didn’t supply much in terms of runs. Kevin Newman had another spectacular day at the plate going 3-5 including a double, his season average is up to .318.
Adam Frazier and Jose Osuna were the others that supplied the team with at least an ounce of contribution on offense. Both tallying 2 hits a piece. Unfortunately, Bryan Reynolds was quiet this afternoon as he went 0-4 dropping his average to .321. If he wants to win this batting title, he will need to have a couple big games down the stretch because Anthony Rendon is starting to pull away.
