Published: 04 Mar. 2015, 20:53
With the Pirates having a 5-0 lead in the third inning, Kang, who inked a four-year deal worth $11 million with the Pirates with a club option for $5.5 million in 2019, slugged a fastball from Toronto’s right-hander Marco Estrada in his second at-bat and clinched a solo home run over Auto Exchange Stadium’s right-center fence.
Kang, who was sixth hitter on the lineup, played 5 1/2 innings on Tuesday. He grounded out at his first at-bat, and then a walk in the fifth inning.
