Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Clubs ninth homer

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Friday's 5-2 win over Colorado.

The 37-year-old crushed a mammoth 448-foot solo homer of Ryan Feltner in the sixth inning to give the Pirates a lead they never relinquished. McCutchen later tallied another run when a Bryan Reynolds single drove him home in the eighth. McCutchen has been a steady producer over the last 30 days, hitting .297 (28-for-94) with five homers, 19 runs scored and 12 RBI in 22 games.
