They're playing the mariners this weekend. My wife's best friend lives out there, so we go often, I'll definitely go when the yanks or Mets are playing. Soto had a good showing last night.

Since they closed the steel mills, The Holiday Bar, Forbes Field, and the Iron City Brewery, I'm not sure why anyone would need to go to Pittsburgh
If someone insists: after lunch at Primanti's on 18th Street, drive through 28th and Liberty Avenue where George Westinghouse invented the airbrake in his shop and the Railroad Strike of 1877 started.

Go to 3339 Penn Avenue to see the Roberto Clemente Museum- better known as the quarters of 25 Engine and Truck. Ask to see if the highwater mark from the Flood of 1936 is still in the basement. Even better, see the Captain's office behind the sitting/watchroom/kitchen. Over 50 years ago that's where Entropychaser slept buffing the night tour. The Captain slept upstairs where there was an air conditioner.

Luis Clemente is Roberto's 2nd son and is a friend of mine. The museum is a must and a great old house. Great story about staying the the house.

Diners angry at Kamala Harris for kicking them out of restaurant

A group of diners sitting down to enjoy Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 's famous Primanti Bros. sandwiches were surprised and outraged Saturday after they were told by staff to leave by 4:00 pm.

I'll bet she doesn't know who Roberto Clemente, or George Westinghouse for that matter, is.
