The Pirates offense has not lived up to expectations this season, but Pirates manager Clint Hurdle believes the runs are coming.

“The nice part is that guys have continued to help in different spots throughout the lineup,” Hurdle told Pirates.com. “Everybody's had good runs to help us win games. We have a lineup capable of producing runs from top to bottom, in a lot of different ways, when we get them all on the same page.”

The Pirates finished off a sweep of the Giants on Wednesday afternoon, but Hurdle still opted to use the Giants as an example for how he envisions the Pirates offense once everyone gets in sync at the same time.

“Look at [the Giants'] lineup, with the averages and on-base percentages,” Hurdle said. “That's clicked pretty well. We believe that's the kind of lineup we have when everybody is at the pace they're capable. Which hasn't been the case.”
