Pirates Make First Base Change Before Yankees Game

His best game came in the 9-8 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers at PNC Park on June 10, where he hit two home runs, his first two in the major leagues, a solo home run in the fourth inning to cut the deficit to 2-1 and then a three-home run in the seventh inning, putting the Pirates up 7-6 after they trailed 6-1.

He's featured all over for the Pirates, with seven starts in nine games in right field, six starts in seven games in left field, four starts in five games at third base, two starts in five games at second base and three starts in five games at first base.

Callihan has also pitched in three games for the Pirates, featuring late on in blowouts and throwing three scoreless innings.

The Pirates have gotten the most out of Callihan and his willingness and ability to play in different positions make him a valuable part of this team.
