Home is where homers are for Harrison

CINCINNATI -- Josh Harrison was born and raised in this city. He attended the University of Cincinnati, a few miles north of Great American Ball Park. Every time the Pirates play in his hometown, Harrison has his own personal cheering section. He looked at home Monday night, too.

With about a dozen family members and friends in attendance, Harrison hit two solo home runs against the Reds. But his first career multi-homer game was not enough. The rest of the Pirates' lineup went hitless after the first inning, and the Bucs paid for their mistakes as they lost, 4-3, in 10 innings.
