Notes and Transactions
| Jul 4 |
After 3B Jose Bautista hit his 10th blast of the season on Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates now have five players who have belted double-digit home runs this season. RF Xavier Nady, LF Jason Bay, CF Nate McLouth and C Ryan Doumit have also belted double-digit home runs this season, marking the second time in team history that the Pirates have had five players who have done so through 84 games. Bautista and Bay were two of the five who accomplished the mark after 84 games in 2006. ... Bay, who went 2-for-4 with a walk Friday, has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games. ... LHP Tom Gorzelanny suffered his first career loss against the Brewers on Friday, allowing seven earned runs on 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings. He entered Friday's meeting with a career 3-0 mark and 3.13 ERA against Milwaukee. ... Friday's loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for the Pirates, who have not won three straight games since a streak of six wins that concluded May 12. |
