Andrew McCutchen wasn't hit by a pitch for the first time Saturday. In fact, it was the 48th time in his career and eighth this season.
This time, it forced him out of the game in the first inning.
But whether the first or 48th time, getting hit isn't an enjoyable experience.
Julio Teheran threw a fastball high and tight to McCutchen in the first inning. The 91 MPH two-seamer got away from him and connected with the back of McCutchen's left elbow as he tried to turn away and absorb the blow.
He stayed on the field for a few moments before walking down into the dugout.
