The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the more-storied franchises in the history of the National Football League. Pittsburgh has also been home to some of the greatest football players to ever play the game professionally. Quarterback Terry Bradshaw was once slinging passes to wide receiver Lynn Swann. All-time great running back Jerome Bettis had a NFL Network special dedicated to him in October of 2015. He may not be the most beloved player in the history of the club http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-michael-jordan-jersey , but nobody can deny that Ben Roethlisberger has been one of the best players to ever feature for the Steelers.For all of the success that the Steelers have enjoyed over the years, the team has also gotten plenty of things wrong. Remember when Limas Sweed was going to be the next great NFL WR according to some analysts? That not only never came close to happening. Sweed became far more known for failing to hold onto the football in big situations than for making big plays and positive contributions for the Steelers. Pittsburgh and Sweed parted ways not long after he failed to impress the club and fans, and his NFL career was over almost as quickly as it began.For every draft pick that the Steelers have gotten right, there are also plenty of examples of selections that were, after the fact, viewed as wasted picks. Pittsburgh missed on multiple defensive linemen that the club drafted in the 1980s. Any one of them could make a list of the worst players in the history of the Steelers. There was also a fullback who, according to the Steelers Greedy Williams Jersey , did not do enough to keep himself in playing shape. Some athletes simply aren't good enough to play in the NFL. Not being dedicated to the craft is an unforgivable offense. Christian Yelich stayed in the game after he was hit on the left knee by Mike Foltynewicz. He tested his legs with an easy jog around the bases.

Yelich and Eric Thames scored on Jesus Aguilar’s towering drive to center, capping a five-run third inning and sending the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.

Aguilar’s 20th homer traveled an estimated 433 feet.

”It was a good one,” Aguilar said. ”I was just waiting for one pitch. Thankfully, I got it.”

Tyler Saladino also homered for the Brewers, who have won five straight to extend their NL Central lead to 2 1/2 games over the second-place Cubs.

Rookie Freddy Peralta (4-1) struck out six while pitching six innings of one-run ball. The rookie right-hander has turned into a vital piece of Milwaukee’s rotation.

”Every start you learn something,” he said.

After Peralta departed, Atlanta rallied for three runs in the seventh off Jacob Barnes. But the Braves’ rally faltered when they failed to score with two on and no out after Dan Jennings replaced Barnes http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-sione-takitaki-jersey , and then left two on with one out in the eighth against Jeremy Jeffress.

”We were a productive out away from tying the game,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. ”We didn’t even need a hit.”

Corey Knebel worked around a one-out single in the ninth for his 11th save.

Atlanta has lost a season-high four straight and fell into a virtual tie with Philadelphia atop the NL East, with the Phillies leading by percentage points.

Foltynewicz (6-5) had allowed five runs over his previous nine starts. He allowed that many in the span of six hitters in the third.

Saladino’s two-run shot was his first following a five-week stint on the disabled list due to a sprained left ankle. After Peralta struck out and Thames singled, Yelich was hit by a breaking ball on the inside of his knee.

When Yelich reached first, Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman kissed his own hand and playfully massaged Yelich’s left knee.

Yelich and the Brewers felt better moments later, thanks to Aguilar.

”I left that pitch right over the middle,” said Foltynewicz Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , who struck out seven in six innings. ”His bat path ran right into it.”

FOLTYNEWICZ FALTERS

Foltynewicz was again felled by one inning. On May 4, he gave up six runs in the second inning against the Giants. In his 93 other innings this season, he has a 1.35 ERA.
