Carlos Beltran is bringing as he continues to pursue his first World Series championship. He is 4-12 with two home runs and six RBI with only one strikeout in the first three games of this series.
Pirates Batting Lineup

4. Justin Morneau 1B
5. Marlon Byrd RF

Pedro Alvarez is red hot, like Beltran, he's hit two home runs in the 2013 postseason and he is providing big hits for the Pirates' offense. Another big bopper is Andrew McCutchen, but that is expected. Though Martin is only hitting .222 through the first three games, his hits have been huge, driving in four runs in the NLDS.
