McCutchen ties Clemente for third on Pirates' all-time homers list with 240
It was the second homer in two games and fifth of the season for the 38-year-old McCutchen, who's in his 17th big league season and 12th with Pittsburgh over two stints. It gave the Pirates a 2-1 lead.
Clemente hit 240 homers from 1955-1972. He was 38 when he was killed on Dec. 31, 1972, in the crash of a plane he chartered to deliver emergency supplies for the survivors of an earthquake in Nicaragua. He was posthumously elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973.
Willie Stargell tops the Pirates' list with 475 homers and Ralph Kiner is next with 301.
McCutchen has 324 homers in a career in which he's also played for Philadelphia, Milwaukee, San Francisco and the New York Yankees.

What channel is the Bills game on? How to watch Buffalo Bills vs Chicago Bears
ORCHARD PARK - Now that James Cook is signed to a new contract extension, the Buffalo Bills star running back might get a few snaps Sunday night against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The drama surrounding Cook's hold in came to an end Wednesday, one day after he had returned to practice, when he signed his four-year contract extension that included a whopping $30 million in guaranteed money. After missing four practices and the preseason opener last Saturday against the Giants, Cook has fallen behind in season preparation. All of the starters who weren't injured played into the second quarter against New York, so while Cook will get work along with all the first-stringer players Friday when the teams conduct a joint practice at Halas Hall, he may see game action Sunday. When he spoke to reporters Tuesday morning, coach Sean McDermott had not decided on what the game-day lineup would look like. 'We'll see,' he said. 'I'm not there yet on it, I just want to get a big practice (Tuesday) to get through and then (Wednesday) and then as a staff we'll talk about it some more at that point in time.'

Paul Blackburn saves bullpen in surprise return to Mets as his ‘weird' season takes another turn
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free Paul Blackburn's 'weird' season took another strange turn late Tuesday night when he was awoken by a messenger banging on his hotel room door after missing a phone call informing him the Mets were planning to activate him the next day from the injured list. At that point Blackburn was set for a rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse. But the Mets had utilized Justin Hagenman for four innings in relief in their victory over the Braves and wanted Blackburn to join the bullpen as Hagenman's replacement. 'Definitely surprised,' Blackburn said Wednesday at Citi Field before the Mets lost 11-6 to the Braves. Blackburn was utilized on this night, pitching the final five innings and allowing two earned runs. 'He saved the bullpen,' manager Carlos Mendoza said. Even so, whether the veteran Blackburn will stick for long is unclear. The Mets will need a roster spot to call up Nolan McLean for his major league debut on Saturday. Blackburn, who doesn't have a minor league option remaining, is a prime DFA candidate. Paul Blackburn, who allowed two runs over the final five innings, saved the Mets' bullpen even more damage in their 11-6 loss to the Braves on Aug. 13, 2025. Jason Szenes / New York Post CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS Blackburn, who spent six weeks on the IL with a right shoulder impingement, had last pitched for the Mets on June 28 in Pittsburgh. It's a season in which he also missed two months rehabbing from knee inflammation. Blackburn also had a stomach virus that contributed to resetting his rehab clock early in the season. Overall, he's pitched in 12 minor league games as part of rehab assignments this season. Paul Blackburn throws a pitch during the Mets' loss to the Braves. Jason Szenes / New York Post There have been times he was on the brink of return only to remain on a rehab assignment — with the Mets perhaps trying to maximize the roster. In seven appearances (four starts) for the Mets he's pitched to a 6.85 ERA. 'I just want to be in a place and pitch, really,' Blackburn said. 'I just want to be somewhere and pitch.' The Mets, due to heavy rain, postponed a pregame ceremony to honor Pete Alonso on passing Darryl Strawberry as the franchise's all-time home run leader. Alonso hit career homer No. 253 on Tuesday to break the record before adding No. 254. The ceremony is now scheduled for pregame on Thursday. The Mets set a franchise record for a season on Tuesday with a third game in which they hit at least six home runs. The season high was seven in Philadelphia on June 21. Entering the day the Mets were the only MLB team this season with three games in which they hit at least six homers. All of Tuesday's six homers occurred with two outs — only the fifth time that has occurred in MLB in the expansion era (post-1961).
