Rays' Jake Mangum Excels with Four Hits, Two Steals vs. Pirates

Jake Mangum made headlines during his second major-league game on Monday, going 4-for-4 with two RBIs and two stolen bases in the Tampa Bay Rays' 6-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. This performance made him the first player in modern MLB history to record four hits and multiple steals in one of his first two games. After being called up to replace the injured Josh Lowe, Mangum expressed his disbelief at the achievement, stating it was 'unbelievable.' The Rays took control of the game with a four-run fourth inning, fueled by Mangum's two-run single. Additionally, the team's pitchers combined for ten strikeouts, with Drew Rasmussen returning to the rotation after injury and pitching five scoreless innings. The Rays look to continue their momentum as they prepare for the next game in the series against Pittsburgh.
