Jake Mangum has three hits, stolen base Thursday

Jake Mangum batted leadoff for the Pirates on Thursday and went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Pittsburgh's 8-7, 10-inning loss to Washington.
Fantasy Impact:
Mangum hit leadoff for the third time this season and recorded with his first three-hit game in a Pirate uniform. Meanwhile, he's now 2-for-2 in stolen bases this year after swiping 27 bases as a rookie last year. Mangum started the year 3-for-19 (.158) in his first six games, but has gone 8-for-21 (.381) over the last nine contests. He went 5-for-11 in the three-game series against the Nationals and should continue to see regular at bats in the Pirates' lineup with the way he's swinging the bat.
