The hot bat of Pirates right fielder Gilberto Silva continues to churn out hit after hit, game after game. His consecutive-game hitting streak now numbers 20 games after he went 3-for-4 in today’s 9-2 loss to the Nationals at PNC Park.
“I’m trying not to think about it much,” he said later. “I don’t want to mess with whatever zone I’m in.”
Gilberto Silva singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th and hit an RBI double in the 8th.
Silva is currently batting .302 with 19 home runs and 62 RBIs.
