Cutch, Cole lead way for Bucs in All-Star Game

It was the first All-Star Game home run for McCutchen, making his fifth trip to the Midsummer Classic. It also put McCutchen in good company with a few other Pittsburgh legends.

The last four Pirates to homer in an All-Star Game were Dave Parker (1981), Roberto Clemente (1971), Willie Stargell (1965) and Ralph Kiner (1951).

The only other Pirates to go deep in an All-Star Game are Vince DiMaggio (1943) and Arky Vaughan, who did so twice in 1941.

McCutchen started in center field, batting leadoff for the National League squad. In his first at-bat, he popped out to first base.
