'Wanted to do it here in Pittsburgh': McCutchen gets 2,000th hit

PITTSBURGH -- Andrew McCutchen recorded his 2,000th hit, Jack Suwinski hit his 12th home run and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Mets 2-1 on Sunday, New York's eighth loss in nine games.

McCutchen became the 291st player and fifth active player to reach 2,000 hits when he turned on a slider from Carlos Carrasco (2-3) leading off the first and laced it to left field.

The five-time All-Star, who signed a one-year deal in January to return to the team he starred for from 2009 to '17, drew a loud ovation from his adopted hometown as he rounded first base.
