Well, this was absolutely the day that I was going to do a show about how they can't hit.

Good morning to you.

Good Monday, morning.

I'm Dale Kovachievich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

And this is Daily Shot of Pirates.

It comes your way right and early every weekday.

If you're into football and or hockey,

I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Penguins in the same place that you found this.

Pirates eight!

Rangers three.

Pirates with 15 as in 1-5 hits Yes, in the same game The pirates with 5 doubles 7 for 14 With runners in scoring position But, as the ad goes, there's more.

Most of this offense came from Spencer Horwitz.

Had three hits and two RBIs.

Tommy Pham, who had three hits and three RBIs, including his first two extra base hits.

Since April 26th in Los Angeles, Brian Reynolds, back from paternity leave with not just a new

baby boy, but three hits and a walk.

And just because somebody has to do it, I'm the one who walks into the clubhouse afterward and asks everybody why they can't hit.

Or at least why they can't hit on about, what is it, nine days out of 10 or is it 12 days out of 13, whatever it is,

generally speaking, and the numbers support me on this, they can't hit. Whereas on this day,

although they were ably assisted, I must add, by the Texas defense, especially in that

five-run fifth inning, by the Texas bullpen in general.

They still hit.
