It might have been a rain-shorted game, but Pirates fans didn't seem to mind as long as their team got the win.

The Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates topped the Minnesota (GCL) Twins, 9-2, in Gulf Coast Rookie League action at Hammond Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Pittsburgh (GCL) center fielder Danny Funes. The Pirates saw their win-loss record go to 34-37. At the same time, the Twins fell to 40-31.

Funes made an early impact for Pittsburgh (GCL) when he stroked his 3rd home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which came in the top of the second, put the Pirates on top, 6-0.

"I just try to be a dog, have good swings, good at-bats," said Funes.
