Jackson Swats 2 Homers, Pirates Top Guardians, 7-4
The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Cleveland Guardians by a score of 7-4. Pittsburgh right fielder Alex Jackson deserved the lion's share of the credit. Jackson hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Pirates. Pittsburgh leads the National League Central Division by 2 games.

It could have been a different outcome for Pittsburgh, had it not been for Pat Miller, the 27-year old center fielder . Miller contributed a 2-run triple in the top of the second inning to put Pittsburgh up, 3-0.

"We've got a great group of guys," Jackson said, "and we're having fun right now."
