## Regular season

The Pirates had scored 466 runs (4.09 per game) and allowed 580 runs (5.09 per game) with a 53-61 record by Friday, August 12, 1994, when the MLB Players' strike began. Pittsburgh struggled offensively during the season, finishing 28th in runs scored (466), runs batted in (435), home runs (80, tied with the Philadelphia Phillies), total bases (1,485) and slugging percentage (.384). They were shut out 11 times in 114 games, the most in the Majors. One highlight of the season was their 4-0 shutout of the best team in baseball, the Montreal Expos, at Three Rivers Stadium on Thursday, August 11, just one day prior to the strike. Zane Smith picked up the win for the Pirates.
