Henry Davis Hits First Major-League Homer, Pirates Beat Nationals 6-1

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Henry Davis hit his first major league home run in a 6-1 win over the Washington Nationals, breaking a scoreless tie in the fifth inning with a solo shot. Davis, recently recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, has started four of the last five games due to injuries to other catchers, including Joey Bart and Endy Rodriguez. Despite previous struggles at the major league level, Davis appears to be settling in, contributing both offensively and defensively, including throwing out a base runner in the first inning. Pirates manager Derek Shelton praised Davis's pitch-calling and overall performance, noting his improved mindset and confidence this season. Davis's power display and increased playing time come as he seeks to solidify his role with the team amid shifting roster dynamics. His recent efforts have helped the Pirates win two out of three games so far in their series against the Nationals.
