KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates are back on the board.
Tommy Pham’s two-run home run in the third inning at Kansas City on Monday night ended a 30-inning scoreless streak for the Pirates, who were shut out in at Seattle during their previous series.
Before beginning this nine-game trip with the sweep by the Mariners, the Pirates had blanked St. Louis in three consecutive home games. Their streak of playing in six straight shutouts in history.
Pham, a 12-year veteran who’s in his first season with the Pirates, bookended the scoreless skid with RBIs. He drove in a seventh-inning run with a groundout on Wednesday during the 5-0 victory over the Cardinals.
