Description: It didn't take long for stud prospect Starling Marte to hit his first major league home run. It actually took only one pitch. | Insight: Marte took the first pitch of the game and hammered it over the left field wall to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead.

Description: Pirates outfield prospect Starling Marte came a double shy of the cycle on Friday with Triple-A Indianapolis. | Insight: Marte, who is rated as Pittsburgh's No. 3 prospect by MLB.com, is batting .267 this season, but he has nine doubles, six triples, five homers and 14 stolen bases.
