Despite the uphill battle to get win number 82, Andrew McCutchen has been a bright spot for the Pirates. During the course of last week, Pittsburgh went 2-3. McCutchen had a hit in each of the five games for his squad. Let’s check out how he performed.
9/1: 1-3, 1 Run
9/2: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 BB
9/3: 2-4, 1 HR, 3 Runs, 1 RBI, 1 BB
9/4: 1-4, 1 HR, 1 Run, 1 RBI, 1 BB
9/6: 1-2, 1 Run, 2 BB
For the week, McCutchen went 7-17 with a .412 batting average. He tallied two RBIs, two home runs, and six runs en route to touching 17 bases for the week. McCutchen got on base five times with walks and only struck out twice.
It’s no mistake that if the Pirates want to make a strong push into the playoffs that their leader will need to keep playing at a high level. For the season, Cutch is hitting .322 with 19 home runs and 76 RBIs.
