Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Kang Jung-ho continued his hitting drought Friday as he went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in a 4-2 win against the Minnesota Twins.

With opening day less than three weeks away, Kang has yet to make a case for his offensive ability since transitioning to the U.S. besides his solo homer during the first game of spring training.

His performance today dropped his average from .150 to .130.

Kang did score after being walked in the second inning.
