PITTSBURGH — James McCann went deep twice for the first multi-homer game of his seven-year career as the White Sox drilled the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-1. 

McCann hit a solo home run off Pittsburgh rookie JT Brubaker leading off the third and sent a two-run shot to the bleachers in left field in the sixth. 

Dane Dunning pitched six-plus shutout innings for the White Sox to pick up his first career win. 

The loss spoiled a celebratory day for the Pirates, who wore the No. 21 to honor Hall of Fame outfielder Roberto Clemente. 

The Pirates will have the day off on Thursday before traveling to Kansas City to face the Royals on Friday at 8:05 p.m.
