 Pittsburgh Pirates Has Suspended For 8 Games For Using Banned Object

Bryan Reynolds gave the Pirates a 6-4 lead with his first hit of the spring, a two-run home drive to center field, two innings after Hayes leveled the score at four all. After Travis Swaggerty’s 439-foot bomb from last March, his 434-foot homer is the second-longest documented by a Pirates player in spring training.

The bottom of the sixth inning provided enough insurance for the Pirates (1-3).

Jase Bowen delivered a run-scoring single after Seth Beer scored on an infield single. Mike Jarvis and Henry Davis added sacrifice flies later in the inning to increase the Pirates’ advantage to 10-4.

Pittsburgh added two more runs when catching prospect Abrahan Gutierrez slugged a two-run home drive to left center with two outs. Shortly after Gutierrez, another youngster, Jackson Glenn, gave the Pirates back-to-back home runs with a big ball of his own.

Starter Marco Gonzales of the Pirates allowed the Braves (1-3) to score three runs. David Fletcher scored a run off of Gonzales with a base hit, while Sean Murphy collected two RBI singles. Luke Williams’ single to center field in the third inning gave Atlanta a 4-0 advantage.

REMARKABLE OPERATIONS
With their four home runs, Ke’Bryan Hayes, Bryan Reynolds, Abrahan Gutierrez, and Jackson Glenn have collectively driven in nine runs.
Oneil Cruz scored two runs and drew two walks. Jack Suwinski scored once, reached on a walk, and doubled.
Marco Gonzales’s first spring start ended with him getting smacked around. He pitched 1.2 innings, giving up one walk, one hit batter, and three runs on six hits. He got two outswimmings.
After pitching two innings, Luis Ortiz struck out two hitters and gave up one unearned run on one hit and one walk. His fastball was hitting between 96 and 99 mph with ease.
Jose Hernandez (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to get the victory.

Next up
On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates will host the Detroit Tigers at LECOM Park in their return. Quinn Priester, who will be facing left-hander Tarik Skubal, is anticipated to start for the Pirates. Pitch one: 105.
