Ramos hits solo home run in win vs. Rockies
Heliot Ramos went 1-for-4 with a home run in a win over the Rockies on Sunday. The blast was a 409-foot shot that came off the bat at 102.5 mph. It was his first of the season. While teammate Luis Matos has been getting all the attention for his blistering start following his promotion from Triple-A, Ramos is looking good with a .293/.341/.439 triple slash. In fact, Ramos was outplaying Matos in Triple-A as well, with a .296/.388/.565 slash line, eight homers, 21 RBI, and a pair of stolen bases in his first 30 games. While many people will put big bids on Matos this weekend, a small bid on Ramos could go just as far.
Gonzales collects two hits
Nick Gonzales went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Sunday afternoon, propelling the Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Gonzales smacked a go-ahead two-run single off of Hayden Wesneski in the fifth inning, giving the Pirates a lead they would never relinquish. With his two-hit attack, the 24-year-old infielder is now slashing .265/.278/.471 with a pair of homers, eight RBI and one stolen base through his first 37 plate appearances with the Pirates this season.
