Brett Pill went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Thursday against the Pirates. Pill made his first start of the season in left field with left-hander Jeff Locke on the hill for the Pirates. The 28-year-old has mashed in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League in recent years, but it has failed to translate on the major league level thus far. The Giants are out of the race, so they can afford to give Pill plenty of at-bats down the stretch, but he's unlikely to be fantasy relevant.
