The Pirates' fourth-ranked prospect had scuffled to a .184 average (9-for-49) over the previous 13 games, and for the season at Triple-A […]

It might be 6:00 AM, but I am still flying high after watching my favorite Pittsburgh Pirate, Ryan O'Hearn, smack three home runs yesterday and drive in 10 runs in front of the home crowd in Pittsburgh.
