On Tuesday, Cole Young hit a two-run home run in his hometown major league debut at PNC Park, lifting the Seattle Mariners to a 3-2 comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Mariners trailed 2-0 after the second inning when Marcell Ozuna drove in a run, followed by a throwing error from J.P. Crawford in the third.
Cal Raleigh cut the deficit in the fourth with his first home run since April 27, while starter George Kirby earned a 'quality start' to help end a five-game losing streak.
