Henry Davis Hits Third Homer in Pirates' 6-2 Win

henry davis ended a 1-for-29 skid on Thursday with a solo home run in the Pirates’ 6-2 win over the Cardinals. The catcher went 1-for-3 and drove in his third blast of the season, giving Pittsburgh a clean answer at the plate after a rough stretch.

Henry Davis Breaks Through

Davis hit the homer off Justin Bruihl in the seventh inning. It was his third home run of the season and came at a time when his bat had been quiet enough to make every hard contact matter for the Pirates’ offense.

The shot also snapped the 1-for-29 slide that had dragged down his recent line. Before Thursday, he had already shown some pop in a two-homer game against the Reds on May 1, but this was the first time in that skid that he turned one swing into immediate production.

Pirates Get Production From Catcher

The numbers around Davis still look uneven. He was hitting.143 with three home runs, nine RBI and a.515 OPS in 98 at bats after the game, a line that shows both the power and the inconsistency that have shaped his early season work.

That matters for Pittsburgh because Joey Bart remains on the shelf, and Davis should still get the majority of the action behind the plate. So Thursday was not just a lone extra-base hit; it was a reminder that the Pirates are still leaning on him for regular innings and need more nights like this one to keep the spot productive.

Cardinals Leave With 6-2 Loss

The Pirates took the game 6-2, with Davis supplying one of the cleaner swings in the middle innings. For a team that is still sorting out its catching workload, a home run in the seventh gave them a direct answer from a player they will keep using often while Bart stays out.
