Rookie outfielder Jake Mangum went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBIs and two stolen bases in a career-best performance, propelling the host Tampa Bay Rays past the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Monday.

The Southeastern Conference’s all-time hits leader while playing at Mississippi State, Mangum set numerous career firsts in his second-ever game — first hit, double, run, RBI, and stolen base.

In Tampa Bay’s 10-hit attack, Jonathan Aranda was 2-for-3 with a double, a run and a walk as the Rays won for the third time in four games.

Rays starter Drew Rasmussen (1-0) was dominant in his first start of the season, facing only 17 batters in five shutout innings. The right-hander allowed two hits and no walks while striking out four.

Adam Frazier had an RBI single as one of Pittsburgh’s four hits. Endy Rodriguez doubled and scored, but Pittsburgh took its fourth loss in five games.

Converted reliever Carmen Mlodzinski (0-1) had difficulties in the Rays’ four-run fourth. He wound up going 3 2/3 innings and surrendering four runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts.

In Tampa Bay’s first night game at Steinbrenner Field, Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz and Isiah Kiner-Falefa each had a single and swiped a base over the first three innings, but Rasmussen pitched out of the jams.

In the home third, Mangum grounded a single to center for his first major league hit then notched his first career steal. However, Mlodzinski retired Yandy Diaz on a groundout and Brandon Lowe on a swinging third strike.

The Rays got to the hard-throwing Mlodzinski with four consecutive hits in the fourth.

After Junior Caminero opened with a single and was doubled to third by Aranda, Christopher Morel produced an RBI single before Kameron Misner’s two-bagger plated Aranda.

With runners on second and third and one out, Mangum grounded a single past a drawn-in infield for two RBIs and a 4-0 lead.

In the sixth, Jose Caballero doubled in Mangum.

The Pirates got an RBI single from Frazier in the eighth, knocking in Rodriguez.

Diaz’s eight-inning sacrifice fly completed the scoring.

Ve Švédsku museli hokejisté po ligovém finále prchat z ledu. Šlo o život, zuřil kouč

„Totální průser,“ křičel podle deníku Gefle Dagblad kouč Brynäs Niklas Gällstedt, když viděl, co se na ledě po závěrečném hvizdu strhlo. „Snažili se sice udržet fanoušky mimo led, chápu. Člověku tu ale pak jde skoro o život,“ rozčiloval se dále kouč poražených.Přidal se k němu i útočník hostů Tyler Vesel. „Chtěli jsme hráčům Luleå s respektem pogratulovat, ale byli jsme nuceni opustit led. Tohle by se nemělo stávat, je to pro hráče nebezpečné. Podle mě tu mělo být mnohem víc bezpečnostního personálu,“ stěžoval si americký forvard.Podobné scény bývají k vidění spíše při fotbalových oslavách titulu, ale na hokeji, obzvlášť ve spíše umírněném Švédsku se podobné věci často nedějí.

Inside Leafs hero Max Pacioretty’s playoff drive: ‘Who knows how long you have?’

It was February in Calgary, it was cold, and Max Pacioretty was already talking about the playoffs.He and John Tavares had just been huddled shoulder to shoulder at their stalls in the old-school visitors’ dressing room at Scotiabank Saddledome, an arena that’s been around for over 40 years.Pacioretty, 36, and Tavares, 34, were talking like, well, old-school guys — the “right” way to play the game kind of stuff.Advertisement“I guess in our opinion,” Pacioretty said, “the old-school way of give-and-go hockey, not hanging onto (the puck) for too long is the way we both came into the league and how (the game) was played.
