Cleveland Drops Another One, 4-2
The Pittsburgh Pirates knocked off the Cleveland Guardians, 4-2, at PNC Park. Brad McBride was a big reason Pittsburgh won. The right fielder was 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2. Luis Fernández got the win, improving to 1-0. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up 8 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 1. Jeff Gordon recorded the save, his 1st.

Oscar Cameron had a big 2-run double for the Pirates in the bottom of the third inning. With Pittsburgh leading 2-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from 28-year old right-handed pitcher Jose Y. Nunez and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Pirates ahead, 4-0.

Cleveland manager Tristan Bugbie, after yet another defeat, said: "Guys need to step up. Pronto."

Cleveland drops to 5-13.
