Quote of the day
"I can't believe that happened."

An MVP moment
OF Brandon Guyer's second-inning blast to center looked like a no-doubt double. But Pirates CF Andrew McCutchen, the reigning National League MVP, raced back for a leaping catch against the wall. "That's what happens when you hit it to him," Guyer said. "I'm pretty sure he'll do that many times this year."
