Multi-HR Day for Duff as Steelers Overpower Chiefs, 9-7
The performance of Butch Duff proved critical in helping Pittsburgh beat Kansas City, 9-7. The Steelers left fielder went 3-5 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. Pittsburgh, with the win, is 10-24.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Gabriel Nieves to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Steelers on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Steelers," said Nieves.
