Konnor Griffin had career-high four hits, including a fourth-inning triple to the Notch. The most impressive overall plate appearance might've been something other than a hit, though, pointing back to when he went down 0-2 in the count before working the Pirates' seventh consecutive walk to tie a Major League Baseball record.
Don Kelly on that walk: "I thought that might have been his best at-bat. The triple was great to the nook, but when a guy's not throwing strikes and then you get behind 0-2 or 1-2, sometimes you can press and chase. I thought he did a real good job of staying within."
Griffin's got a five-game hitting streak in which he's 9 for 20 with a double-triple, three walks and four RBIs. He's now slashing .260/.324/.390.
