## Resource

On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down Lowe’s 21 home runs, his chase of Neil Walker’s Pirates second base home run record, and why this could go down as one of the greatest seasons ever by a Pirates second baseman. Alex also looks at Bryan Reynolds’ All-Star case, the Pirates’ big series win over the Nationals, the wild card race, Oneil Cruz’s absence, Spencer Horowitz’s impact, and why Pittsburgh’s path to October still feels real if the bullpen gets help.
