Former Alabama star Andrew Pinckney made his first big-league hit one to remember by leaving the yard.
The Washington Nationals called up Pinckney on Tuesday after having to place All-Star outfielder James Wood on the IL with an oblique strain. In the top of the 4th inning of Washington’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Pinckney went opposite field, making his first MLB hit a home run.
