Marcell Ozuna hits first home run of season Thursday
by David Leisering | Pirates Correspondent | Thu, Apr 16th 10:54pm EDT
Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk as the Pirates dropped an 8-7 decision in 10 innings on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
Ozuna finally hit his first home run as a Pirate when he took Washington starter, Foster Griffin, deep with two on and two out in the bottom of the fifth. It was his only hit of the day, but the veteran slugger is starting to show some signs of life. He is on a modest four-game hitting streak and has gone 5-for-16 (.313) during the stretch. Ozuna is still hitting just .127 on the year (7-for-55) with a home run and five runs batted in through 14 games. He has been a streaky hitter, so maybe Thursday's home run will start one of those streaks.
