Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez blasted his 36th home run of the season on Saturday in Cincinnati. Alvarez took starter Bronson Arroyo deep in the fourth inning for a solo shot.
Alvarez hit one of six homers for the Pirates on the day. He finished the game going 2 for 4 and is batting .233 on the year for the Pirates. He now has exactly 100 RBI on the season.
The 26-year-old has gone 6 for 17 over his last four games with two homers and six RBI. He hasn't had the best of averages, but he's been a big-time producer for the Pirates on their run to the wild card playoff game.
