His hit was just one of three the Pirates tallied on the evening, but it was enough to extend his hitting streak to nine games. Reynolds is now slashing .353/.405/.529 in June with one homer and five RBI.
Gorman hits solo home run in loss
Nolan Gorman went 1-for-4 with a home run in the Cardinals’ loss to the Pirates on Tuesday. Gorman’s solo blast in the bottom of the ninth, marked his 15th homer of the season.
