Pirates' Jung Ho Kang: Offense up, defense down

Kang went 2-for-4 with his third stolen base Friday against the Marlins.

Analysis:

The steal was just his first since June 22. Kang has snapped out of his offensive slump, slashing .278/.409/.583 with three homers in 44 August plate appearances. The third baseman has committed a whopping nine errors in his last 30 chances, however, but Pittsburgh needs his stick in the lineup. There has been no news in recent weeks on his pending sexual assault case out of Chicago, either.
