Multi-HR Day for Baerga as Pirates Overpower Yankees, 9-2
Spirited fans at Yankee Stadium greeted the New York Yankees for their clash with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Pittsburgh Pirates topped the New York Yankees by the score of 9-2, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Carlos Baerga. Baerga slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Pirates on the day. Pittsburgh currently is in third place in the Federal League East Division at 69-70.

Andy Van Slyke went 2-5 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once against the Yankees. In the top of the first inning, he hit a run-scoring double, putting Pittsburgh in front, 1-0.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Van Slyke, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
