The Pittsburgh Pirates once again performed well against a top team, giving thoughts of their earlier sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 5-2 victory over the first-place New York Yankees Monday night at a packed house at PNC Park.
Daniel Vogelbach hit a solo homer (11th of the season) and Jack Suwinski hit a two-run dinger (14th of the year) to give the Buccos a lead they would never relinquish.
The Buccos added two more on an RBI double from Ben Gamel and a sacrifice fly by Oneil Cruz, while relying on Jose Quintana and the bullpen to keep the Yankees at bay.
