Carmen Mlodzinski - Serves up grand slam Mlodzinski allowed four earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three across 3.2 innings Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Mlodzinski entered the game in the fifth inning, following Jared Jones. He had a routine opening frame, but he loaded the bases and served up a grand slam in the sixth frame. While it was a poor outing, Mlodzinski was bailed out of taking the loss by a late Pirates' rally. This also marked the first time Mlodzinski has given up more than two earned runs in his last five innings, and he will likely continue to work roughly once a week in a long-relief role.

Brandon Lowe - Kicks off rally Lowe went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a walk and a run scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Lowe kicked off the Pirates' dramatic late-game rally in the seventh inning by delivering a two-run double, and he later came around to score. He has only one multi-hit game across his last 13 starts-- he's hit .166 in that span -- but he's still managed to tally 10 RBI and nine runs scored in that span.
