Even in an 11-5 loss which seemed to snowball by the pitch for the Pirates, Andrew McCutchen was able to give an encore from his emotional home return to the 21,162 paying fans at PNC Park in the closing moments of Saturday's game against the White Sox.
Down to his team's final out, McCutchen took a Reynaldo Lopez four-seam fastball left over the plate to the opposite field, and the ball arced over the Clemente wall by a few feet for his first home run in this second stint as a Pirate and his first as a Pirate since Sept.
