Wed Jul 23 2014 | 21:59 | Snider homers in a win over the L.A. Dodgers |
Travis Snider singled, homered, drew a walk, and scored three runs as the Pirates emerged victorious against the Dodgers by a 6-1 margin on Wednesday. |
Snider's second-inning solo home run off of Dan Haren was his first easy trot around the bases since June 22. He has played sparingly and carries a mediocre .252/.333/.374 slash line along with five home runs and 17 RBI in 184 plate appearances. |

Sun Jun 22 2014 | 20:36 | Snider hits fourth home run in win over Cubs |
Travis Snider went 2-for-3 with his fourth home run of the season in Sunday's win over the Cubs. |
Getting a rare start in place of Starling Marte, Snider connected on a Jason Hammel pitch to give the Pirates an early lead. Snider also singled in the game, and his two hits were more than he'd had combined since June 9. He'll continue to be a part-time player in a loaded outfield and may even be a roster casualty when Neil Walker returns from injury next week. |

Wed May 7 2014 | 16:09 | Snider drives in a pair from leadoff spot |
Serving as the leadoff hitter for the second time this month, Travis Snider went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Giants. |
Snider also drew a walk and drove in what turned out to be the deciding runs in the second inning. The Pirates have moved Starling Marte down in the batting order as they try to get him going, which means unconventional leadoff hitters like Snider have gotten a shot in the leadoff spot. Marte will eventually return to the top of the order. |

Thu Apr 10 2014 | 17:58 | Travis Snider delivers pinch-hit homer |
Travis Snider came off the bench to hit a two-run homer Thursday against the Cubs. |
Snider didn't start against the lefty Travis Wood, but he hit for Clint Barmes as soon as Brian Schlitter took over and launched his second homer of the year. Jose Tabata is also off to a nice start, so those two will continue to split time in right field for now. |
