Welcome to the Pirates Prospects daily video rundown, where we pull some of the top videos of the Pittsburgh Pirates across the internet.
There was plenty of offense to go around on Sunday, as the four minor league teams collectively hit 10 home runs and scored 36 runs. Putting together a single ‘Daily Video Rundown’ means a lot of good plays get left off the board, but here are some of the notable stuff that happened!
Daily Video Rundown
Tucupita Marcano
Marcano has been on a tear during the month of May, raising his batting average to .320 on the month after his 3-for-5 day on Sunday. He collected his ninth extra-base hit of the month with a double, and drove in three runs on the day.

The first RBI came on this double that pushed across the 14th run of the day for Altoona. Marcano himself scored three runs, and plated two more on this single later in the game.

Matt Gorski
You can’t talk about players on a tear without bringing up Matt Gorski. The Greensboro outfielder hit three home runs on Sunday, and has already tied his total from 2021 (17) with a week left in the month of May.

His third home run was a walk-off home run. That pitch is also the last he will see with Greensboro, as Gorski was promoted to Altoona after the game.
Lolo Sanchez
Playing for Greensboro in 2021, Lolo Sanchez took full advantage of the hitter-friendly ball park there, slugging 17 home runs a year ago. He hasn’t had the power translate to Altoona so far, but he managed to join in the offensive parade on Sunday, hitting his second home run of the season.

Mason Martin
There should be little surprise in finding out that Mason Martin hit one of the 10 home runs in the system on Sunday, launching his eighth of the season. It gives him three now in his last four games.
ICYMI: @masonmartin7 now has THREE home runs in his last four games.
Oneil Cruz
With a swing and violent contact that is sure to cause a stir about him still being in Indianapolis, Oneil Cruz launched his fourth home run of the season. There is no doubt he is making a lot harder, and consistent contact, but he is still struggling to get the batting average over the Mendoza line.
