Ryan O’Hearn, Marcell Ozuna and Konnor Griffin each had an RBI double in the first inning and the Pirates led 5-2 going into the second. <\/p>\n

O’Hearn and Ozuna had three RBIs apiece and Griffin was 4 for 5 with a triple, a double and two RBIs. Spencer Horwitz and Nick Gonzales each drove in two runs. Brandon Lowe walked four times, the most by a Pirates player this season, and scored three runs. <\/p>\n
