Andrew McCutchen entered Monday's game against the Athletics with 1,997 career hits, just one big day away from the 2,000 hit plateau, a tier only four active players have reached.
He had that big night Monday, even though he didn't have a hit. In a performance where the Pirates drew 10 walks as a team, McCutchen led the way with three free passes and lifted the game-winning sacrifice fly in the eighth to propel the Pirates to a 5-4 win.
Not to undersell a winning RBI, but it was another plate appearance in the sixth inning that may have been the sequence of the game, if not one of the best in McCutchen's second turn as a Pirate.
