Andrew McCutchen tied Roberto Clemente for third place on the Pittsburgh Pirates’ all-time home run list at 240 with a two-run shot off San Diego’s Randy V\u00e1squez in the third inning on Sunday.<\/p>\n
It was the second homer in two games and fifth of the season for the 38-year-old McCutchen, who’s in his 17th big league season and 12th with Pittsburgh over two stints. It gave the Pirates a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n
Clemente hit 240 homers from 1955-1972. He was 38 when he was killed on Dec. 31, 1972, in the crash of a plane he chartered to deliver emergency supplies for the survivors of an earthquake in Nicaragua. He was posthumously elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973.<\/p>\n
Willie Stargell tops the Pirates’ list with 475 homers and Ralph Kiner is next with 301.<\/p>\n
McCutchen has 324 homers in a career in which he’s also played for Philadelphia, Milwaukee, San Francisco and the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n
