22 Andrew McCutchen, CF

Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen homered for the third time in 13 games Tuesday against the Brewers. He had just two home runs in his first 25 games.

McCutchen has broken out since a four-hit performance April 30. He's batting .353 (18 for 51) with a .421 on-base percentage, .549 slugging percentage and .970 OPS in his last 13 games. On top of the three home runs, McCutchen has one double, six walks, seven RBI and eight runs in that span. His batting average has soared from .217 to .266 since April 29.

With the Pirates up big and a wet outfield creating risk, Pittsburgh opted to pull outfielder Andrew McCutchen from center field in the fifth inning of their game against the Mets Saturday.

McCutchen went 1 for 2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in the game. He exited with the Pirates leading 9-0, and it does not appear as if there is any sort of injury to be concerned about.

McCutchen is batting .410 over the last 10 games, with two home runs, seven RBI and seven runs.  

Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen notched his second four-hit performance of the year Tuesday against the Mariners. McCutchen ripped a run-scoring double off of starter Aaron Harang in the first inning before singling in each of his next three at-bats.

He also stole his seventh base and finished 4 for 4 with an RBI and run scored in the 4-1 win.

McCutchen has hit safely in five of the last seven games and is batting .464 (13 for 28) with two home runs, one double and five RBI over that stretch.
