Steelers Great Maurkice Pouncey Put Ben Roethlisberger In An Uncomfortable Situation During A Preseason Game
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a ton of legends play along their offensive line over the years, one of which being the fan-favorite Maurkice Pouncey. Pouncey earned the love of the fan base by protecting his teammates, and being a chippy and gritty lineman. He was a mainstay in Pittsburgh, as he was the team's starting center for 11 seasons.

Steelers' DeMarvin Leal Highlights Intense Competition Amongst The Defensive Line
The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the better defenses in the league. A lot of that is due to their front seven, specifically the pass rush.

Corbin Carroll also homered and Joc Pederson delivered a pinch-hit, two-run triple as Arizona won for the 10th time in its past 13 games. The Diamondbacks are a season-high five games over .500.

Puk walked one in a scoreless eighth in his Diamondbacks debut and Bryce Jarvis allowed one hit in the ninth. Pittsburgh played without All-Star Bryan Reynolds (bereavement) and Rowdy Tellez (back spasms) and also lost Nick Gonzales (groin) in the sixth inning after he was injured while running out a groundout. Cruz was the second hitter of the game, and he smashed a first-pitch fastball to deep right center for his 16th homer of the season. The solo shot traveled 472 feet. Arizona tied the score in the bottom of the first on Christian Walker's RBI single off Pirates starter Marco Gonzales. The Diamondbacks struck for three runs in the second on Carroll's solo homer to right-center, his seventh long ball of the season, and Marte's two-run shot to right-center, his 23rd home run. The Pirates knotted the game at 4 with a three-run fifth. Joey Bart's RBI double, Ji Hwan Bae's sacrifice fly and Michael A. Taylor's run-scoring infield single plated the runs. Arizona moved back ahead in the fifth, with runs scoring on sacrifice flies by Geraldo Perdomo and Marte. In the sixth, Cruz tripled to deep center to start the inning. One out later, Connor Joe's groundout scored Cruz to pull the Pirates within 6-5. Pederson's two-run triple to right off Quinn Priester (2-6) in the bottom of the frame pushed the Arizona lead to three. Pederson scored on McCarthy's single to right. Marco Gonzales gave up four runs and seven hits over 2 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out one. Priester gave up five runs on five hits over four innings. --Field Level Media.
