NEW YORK -- It was just under a month ago that Liover Peguero just cleared the left field wall at PETCO Park for his first major-league home run. That July 24 line drive was a load off his mind, and rounding the bases in San Diego that night, he couldn't believe what he did.
On Tuesday at Citi Field, he pushed that total to five major-league homers, all in just over three weeks' time:
Mix in a walk during a six-run seventh inning and a base hit earlier and Peguero continued to stay white hot on offense, helping the Pirates to a 7-4 win over the Mets.
