'Vintage Cutch' picks up pace with 4-hit night
Cutch's four-hit performance 1:40 6/2/15: Andrew McCutchen has a big game at the plate, collecting four hits and falling just a home run shy of the cycle "I was aware of it and thought about it. But I'm going to stay humble, man," said McCutchen, who flied out to right with an inside-out swing at a pitch from left-hander Jeremy Affeldt. "I'm not going up there trying to hit a homer. A month ago, I was hoping for a broken-bat single."
The 4-for-5 night spiked McCutchen's average to .292. He was at .188 on May 6. In hitting .404 since, he has also cemented his renown as the MVP of the Pirates, whose 16-9 tear since parallels his own.
