Pittsburgh Beats Tennessee, 7-4
In the 7-4 Pittsburgh win over Tennessee, the impact of Butch Duff was substantial. Duff, who is tied for 4th in the ABC in triples with 2, was 2-3 with a double and 2 walks. Despite the win, Pittsburgh, now 5-15, is off to a terrible start.

The Steelers got a big at-bat from pinch hitter Matthew Schmitt. For the game, Schmitt went 1-1 with a double. In the bottom of the sixth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 2nd double of the season gave Pittsburgh a 5-4 lead.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Schmitt said.
