Game Preview
Andrew McCutchen will attempt to keep turning back the clock on Thursday when the Pittsburgh Pirates open a four-game road series against the Chicago Cubs.
McCutchen, 37, has hit safely in four of his past five games, going 8-for-20 (.400) with two home runs, three RBIs and six runs during that span. He was one of the few bright spots during Pittsburgh’s 10-2 loss to the host Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday, collecting three hits, including a solo shot.
“It’s really good to see. He has hit a lot of barrels and not had success in terms of getting hits,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said of McCutchen. “It was good to see him get rewarded and get some knocks (Wednesday).”
