Slumping J-Hay sees end of `storm` nearing
(MLB.com Pittsburgh Pirates)

Josh Harrison anchored the Pirates` lineup for the better part of three months, a consistently strong presence in a group plagued by injuries, absences and slumps. Combined with his defensive versatility, Harrison`s reliable bat was enough to make him Pittsburgh`s lone All-Star. But Harrison has hit his first skid of the season, he acknowledged after going 0-for-4 and stranding the bases loaded in the seventh inning of the Pirates` 4-0 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night at PNC Park.
