Pirates’ Hayes misses 1B on HR, LA’s Buehler shuts down Bucs
By JOHN PERROTTO Associated Press
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ke’Bryan Hayes hastily missed first base and was called out after hitting a first-inning homer, sending Walker Buehler on his way to seven scoreless innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3. The Pirates star rookie stung an opposite-field line drive in the first inning against Buehler that narrowly cleared the right-field wall, just inside the foul pole. Running hard and with his eyes on the ball, Hayes missed touching first base with his left foot by two or three inches and kept on going. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts challenged, and umpires overturned the call after a short video review.

Pirates fans among the least fit in MLB

Baseball fans can be quick to judge the athletic abilities and physical fitness of players on the field, but how well does their own physical fitness stack up?

USBets recently surveyed 2,000 MLB fans to ask them all about their physical fitness to determine which MLB fanbases are the most and least physically fit.

Rankings were based off several factors including body mass index, frequency of exercise, how physically active they are throughout the day, if they can run a mile and how many push-ups and sit-ups they can perform.

Results:

  • The Pittsburgh Pirates fans are the 2nd least physically fit MLB fans.
  • Pirates fans play the 9th most recreational sports with 63% of Pirates fans reporting that they play a recreational sport at least once per month.
  • Pirates fans were joined by the Atlanta Braves, Kansas City Royals, Tampa Bay Rays and the Houston Astros in the top five least physically fit MLB fans.
  • The top 5 fittest MLB fanbases: 1. Los Angeles Angels 2. Arizona Diamondbacks 3. Milwaukee Brewers 4. Colorado Rockies 5. San Diego Padres.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jacob Stallings hit a game-ending single in the 12th inning that lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates over Miami 8-7 and extended the Marlins’ longest losing streak in six years to eight games.
