Pittsburgh's Colin Moran discovered home run stroke, now needs to find a position to play

Posted Dec 5, 2020
If only every game was like the first of the season at PNC Park, Colin Moran would be a cult hero for the Pirates. Homering in the home opener has become a tradition for Moran since he joined the Pirates. In 2018, he received a curtain call after hitting a grand slam against Minnesota. Last year, he hit a leadoff homer in the eighth inning against St. Louis. (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
