Oneil Cruz - Blasts grand slam vs. Washington Cruz went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Cruz put the Pirates up for good in the sixth inning, when he took the first pitch he saw from Eduardo Salazar deep to right field for a 385-foot grand slam. It was the third home run of the season for Cruz and his first since April 2 against the Rays. The 26-year-old outfielder has begun the season slashing .222/.343/.426 with three home runs and nine RBI in 67 plate appearances, and he leads the majors with eight stolen bases.

Henry Davis - Smacks first major-league homer Davis went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Davis opened the scoring in the fifth inning, when he took a 92 mph fastball from Mitchell Parker deep to left field for a 392-foot solo homer. It was the first major-league home run of Davis' career, and he drove in another run in the fifth frame on a groundout to third base. With Joey Bart (back) day-to-day, Davis has started in four of the Pirates' last five games. Davis should continue to see more starts behind home plate after Endy Rodriguez (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Bailey Falter - Tosses seven shutout innings Falter (1-2) earned the win against the Nationals on Wednesday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out two across seven scoreless innings.

Impact Falter needed just 83 pitches (of which 57 were strikes) to get through seven scoreless frames, allowing only three baserunners in the process. It was his second quality start in four tries and a nice bounce-back effort for the 26-year-old southpaw, who yielded 12 runs (10 earned) in his two outings prior to Wednesday's contest. Falter will look to make it two wins in a row in his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Angels.
