Pirates look to end slide in game against the Red Sox
The Pittsburgh Pirates look to break their five-game slide when they play the Boston Red SoxAUGUST 17, 2022 • Associated Press
Three RBI in loss Gamel went 2-for-4 with one double and three RBI in Tuesday's loss against the Red Sox.
Impact The lefty outfielder provided all the offense for the Pirates Tuesday with a bases clearing double in the bottom of the eighth inning. He now has nine RBI in his last seven games despite hitting just .214 over that stretch. While he has shown mixed results, Gamel is well above league average in average exit velocity, hard hit rate and xBA, so he could hold value down the stretch in deeper formats, especially hitting in the cleanup spot as he did Tuesday.

Snaps power drought Gamel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Giants.
Impact Gamel's sixth-inning blast got the Pirates within two runs. It was his first homer in over a month -- his last was July 9 versus the Brewers. The outfielder has hit safely in eight of 10 games in August, going 11-for-36 (.306). Gamel is slashing .244/.336/.384 with five homers, 29 RBI, 32 runs scored and four stolen bases through 78 contests. His .140 ISO won't raise many eyebrows, but he's been at least decent at getting on base to help his other counting stats.

Sits against lefty Gamel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Impact The lefty-hitting Gamel had been in the lineup in each of the Pirates' last three game, including Sunday and Monday when southpaws were on the mound for the opposition. However, with Pittsburgh facing a third straight lefty (Daniel Castano) on Tuesday, manager Derek Shelton may have decided it was an ideal time to give the veteran a day off. Diego Castillo will replace Gamel in Pittsburgh's outfield.

Delivers decisive home run Gamel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
Impact Gamel's two-out shot off reliever Brad Boxberger in the seventh inning proved to be the difference as Pittsburgh rallied back from a 3-0 deficit. The 30-year-old has gone 5-for-19 with three extra-base hits, three runs and three RBI in six games since returning from the injured list. Even with Milwaukee bringing a lefty (Eric Lauer) to the hill for Sunday's series finale, the lefty-hitting Gamel will stick in the lineup and bat seventh as Pittsburgh's starting left fielder.
