After 13 years in the minor leagues, Drew Maggi was greeted with a standing ovation when he made his major league debut for the Pittsburgh Pirate on Wednesday night. The 33-year-old, who played 1,154 games in the minors, pinch hit for five-time All-Star Andrew McCutchen in the eighth inning with the Pirates ahead by seven runs. Maggi saw four pitches from Alex Vesia, striking out on a slider, in an at-bat that included a pitch-clock violation by the rookie batter.'It's the best strikeout I ever had,' Maggi said with a smile after the Pirates beat the Dodgers, 8-1. '[...] Anything is possible. Never give up.'
