Kris Bryant had been hitting into hard luck early in his return to the lineup, but finally just found some grass in the 5th. After an Anthony Rizzo fly out, Javy Báez – who’d also had a hard luck night so far – doubled Bryant in from first.
It was all quite nice.
And the Kyle Schwarber applied the cherry to the inning:

Why are you running, Pirates outfielders? That’s 436 feet and it is long gone. I love when Schwarber does that.
Hey, has Kyle Schwarber ever hit a two-run homer at PNC Park before?
