For this week’s Pirate of the Week, outstanding performances on the diamond are quickly becoming par for the course. However, with Josh Harrison’s father, Vince, in the stands this weekend, J-Hay once again has found a way to do even more.
After a tough stretch where the Pirates lost 7 of 8, Harrison’s three-hit, five-RBI night helped carry the Pirates to a much needed series opening 8-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison also belted his 11th home run of the season Friday, along with his 28th double of the season.
For the week, Harrison went 8 for 27 (.296) with three doubles, a home run and five RBI.
