Pirates' Pedro Alvarez goes big fly for 21st home run

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Pedro Alvarez slugged a solo homer in the Pirates' game against the Miami Marlins on Thursday.

What It Means:

The long ball was Alvarez's 21st of the season and lone hit of the day.

Alvarez owns a .329 wOBA and an isolated slugging percentage of .221, which ranks 10th among first basemen. We project him to be a solid source of power the rest of the season with five homers and a .719 OPS.
