McCutchen and Harrison come alive as Pirates coast to victory on strength of Burnett’s start

Andrew McCutchen and Josh Harrison each homered, and A.J. Burnett continued his magical season as the Pirates pounded the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 7-2.

Despite some early base-runners, the Pirates could not scratch any runs across until the fourth inning, when Starling Marte was hit by a Sean O’Sullivan pitch and Pedro Alvarez singled.
