MILWAUKEE -- The Pirates were dead last in Major League Baseball with 124 home runs last season.
On this July 10, the Pirates hit four homers in their 8-6 victory over the Brewers -- three of which catapulted Pittsburgh from trailing, 4-3, to leading, 8-4, in the ninth inning.
Now, the Pirates rank 13th in MLB with 95 home runs.
In an era where the long ball is highly valued, the Pirates are doing something right. Of course, there's a lot left where they need to improve. The Pirates rank 28th in MLB in on-base percentage and OPS, 27th in slugging percentage and -- the stat that counts most of all -- 28th in runs scored.
