Great Stroke: Miller Gets 5 Hits
It was a good day for the Pirates at PNC Park as they clipped the St. Louis Cardinals, 20-5. It was tremendous day for Pat Miller, who was on a hitting barrage at the plate, finishing 5-for-6.

"I don't know what to call that," the Pittsburgh center fielder told reporters after his big performance. "I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' I just try to keep it simple. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then I hit it. Today I picked up the spin pretty well."

Pat Miller doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

Thus far in 2026, Miller is hitting .305 with 16 home runs, 73 RBIs, 104 runs scored and has compiled a .365 OBP.
