7 years agoPittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Monday in a loss against the Washington Nationals. Choking up on a 3-2 pitch, Dickerson blasted the home run to the upper deck of Nationals Park to cut the deficit to 3-2, which would be the final score. The homer was Dickerson's third of the year, and he finishes the first month of the season hitting .313/.358/.515 with 13 extra-base hits and 16 RBI. Although he trails only Eddie Rosario among the league leaders in swing percentage, Dickerson has somehow managed just a 9.2 percent strikeout rate through 109 plate appearances.--Matt Wilkes
