PITTSBURGH -- After striking out in his first at-bat, Andrew McCutchen looked comfortable at the plate Saturday night. He homered twice off Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda, hammering a curveball and later ripping into a fastball. In this season where so little has gone right, what felt right in the Pirates' 6-1 win at PNC Park?
"For starters, the Adele walk-up song felt real good," McCutchen said. "Had me feeling good, vibing, going up to bat. That's for starters. Everything after that was just everything after that, honestly."
The walk-up song was Adele's "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," a change McCutchen called for before Friday's game.
