PITTSBURGH - The Pirates pitching staff has allowed 14 home runs so far in 2016, good for fourth worst in the National League. It is almost a complete one-eighty from last season, as the Pirates were easily the most stingy pitching staff in the league when it came to giving up home runs, only allowing 110 on the season with the Cardinals being second best with 123.
This tides have turned this year, with ten of the 14 players who have pitched this season for the Pirates allowing at least one homer. Only Gerrit Cole, Mark Melancon, A.
