Guscette, Pirates Sink Rays Again in Game 2
The Pittsburgh Pirates moved to within one game of the League Championship Series today, downing the visiting Tampa Bay Rays at PNC Park by a score of 5-1. Pirates catcher Mac Guscette did some major damage. He was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The win gives the Pirates a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-5 Division Series.

Guscette came through for Pittsburgh with a 2-run double in the bottom of the second. He hit a 2-2 curveball to right field, staking his team to a 2-0 lead.

"We're one game closer to our goal," Pittsburgh manager Dave Roberts said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, October 14th , 2031 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
