McCutchen Ties Clemente on Pirates Home Run List

Pittsburgh Pirates veteran Andrew McCutchen made history by hitting his 240th home run as a Pirate, tying Roberto Clemente for third place on the franchise’s all-time home run list during a series against the San Diego Padres. In that series, McCutchen homered in back-to-back games and recorded multiple hits. This season, he has five home runs and a .264 batting average over 52 games. McCutchen also surpassed Arky Vaughn for ninth place on the Pirates’ all-time hits list and now ranks third among active MLB players in career hits. Despite his age, he remains a key contributor and leader for the Pirates, cementing his legacy among franchise legends. While the records set by Willie Stargell and Ralph Kiner remain out of reach, McCutchen’s consistent performance and leadership are invaluable to the team.
