Brandon Lowe's Historic Homer Streak for Pirates

0:00On March 29th, Brandon Lowe is lighting it up for the Pittsburgh Pirates right out the gate this season. The new second baseman just smashed his third home run in three games, a solo shot in the third inning against the New York Mets on March 29th, at City Field. That blast off a 95.8 mile per hour fastball traveled 390 feet to right center, giving the Pirates a brief. 2-1 lead. Earlier this week on opening day, March 26th, Lowe made history with two homers off Met Starter Freddie Peralta. His first was a two-run shot in the opening frame, barely clearing the right field wall at 337 feet. Then he followed with a 401-foot bond to center, becoming just the seventh pirate to go deep twice on debut day. Pirates fans are buzzing, and the team tweeted about his three-homer streak, calling it special. Lowe joins an elite club as one of only three pirates to Homer in each of their first three games with the team, alongside Shawan Dunston in 19. 97 in Reggie Sanders in 2003. He's also one of four to go yard in his very first plate appearance on opening day.

1:06The Pirates traded for Lowe this off season for good reason. He led all second baseman with 31 homers last year and has hit at least 20. Every full season lately, coming off an all-star campaign, he's a lefty power bet they desperately needed after ranking dead last and slugging, homers, runs, and RBI's in 20. 25. Lowe's early pop is already boosting Pittsburgh's weak offense, and with PNC Park favoring lefties, expect more fireworks as he settles in and carries. This squad forward.
