Marte circles bags for inside-the-park HR
Marte's inside-the-park homer MILWAUKEE -- Starling Marte put the Pirates up 5-1 in the fifth inning of Friday night's game vs. the Brewers at Miller Park with an inside-the-park home run.
Gregory Polanco opened the frame with a single up the middle, before Marte lined a 1-1 pitch from starter Junior Guerra high off the angled wall in left-center. The ball caromed back well beyond center fielder Lorenzo Cain, as Marte never broke stride and scored standing up for his fourth home run of the year.
