It was a good day for the offense as they scored 15 runs on 20 hits. Martin Prado had a particularly good day, going 4 for 5 with a homerun and 3 RBIs. Goldschmidt hit his 30th HR and had a 3 hit day. Didi Gregorious was another highlight on offense with a 3 hit day. The team even had 7 straight hits!!!! Cahill had a less than great day, he gave up 4 earned runs in 5 innings. The Pirates starting pitcher Jeff Locked had an even worse day, giving up 8 ER in 2.2 innings. The offense looked really good here, getting 8 runs off a pitcher who has been fairly stellar this year. Jeff Locke currently has 2.90 ERA, so he's certainly been good. Hopefully we can look forward to more of this sort of display in the future. Obviously 8 runs isn't feasible but 3 is more than enough.
