In Bradenton, Fla., the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Florida Complex League team routed the Baltimore Orioles’ rookie affiliate 28-1 on Friday. The Pirates scored in six innings—five in the first, two in the second, eight in the fourth, nine in the fifth and four in the sixth—before the contest was called after seven. 28-1 stands as the league’s most dominant victory this year.

Hyun Seung Lee drove the offense, collecting six RBIs, including a go‑ahead two‑run double during a five‑run first inning. Bralyn Brazoban added five hits and Carl Calixte contributed four for the club, highlighted by a solo homer that followed Gabriel Rodriguez’s two‑run blast. The Pirates amassed 18 hits—two homers, two triples, three doubles and 11 singles.

Baltimore’s staff struggled, issuing 11 walks, hitting a batter and committing seven errors that produced 10 unearned runs, with shortstop Jemone Nuel responsible for three. Starter Connor Gehr surrendered seven runs on six hits in just 2 1/3 innings. The rout underscores the Pirates’ depth overall at the rookie level in the early season and puts pressure on the Orioles to tighten fundamentals.
