PITTSBURGH (AP) Jacob Stallings has 19 hits in parts of three major league seasons, and the rookie third-string catcher has made a some of them count.
Stallings hit a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning to rally the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
It was Stallings’ second career game-ending hit. The catcher also had one on Sept. 23, 2016, against Washington as a pinch hitter.
