Andrew McCutchen News: Passes franchise legend Wednesday
McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Marlins.
The 38-year-old launched a hanging splitter from Cal Quantrill to center field in the fifth inning, giving Pittsburgh a 4-0 lead. The homer was the sixth of the season for McCutchen, and his 241st in a Pirates uniform -- passing the immortal Roberto Clemente on the franchise's all-time list and putting him into third place behind two other Hall of Famers, Ralph Kiner (301) and Willie Stargell (475). Through 60 games this season, McCutchen is slashing .263/.354/.405 with 21 runs and 25 RBI.
