Mangum’s Foot Issue Threatens Pirates’ Speed | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Jake Mangum’s hot streak hit a snag as he was pulled from the Pirates’ second game against the Yankees due to right foot discomfort, with Billy Cook stepping in. Despite the setback, Mangum delivered a standout performance in Game 1 — going 2-for-5 and driving in the game-winning run in the 10th to seal a 5-3 victory. This season, he’s been a force with a .303 average, 2 homers, 21 RBIs, and 19 stolen bases. Now, the focus turns to how serious the foot issue is — and whether it’ll sideline him long enough to hurt his speed and production. Pirates fans are hoping he bounces back quickly, because they’ll need his bat and legs to keep winning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
