Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-3 with a walk and two singles in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.
McCutchen put the Pirates up 1-0 in the third inning with an RBI single, but it was a lead his team would soon relinquish. McCutchen also drew another walk, pushing his league-leading total up to 35. He is now slashing .308/.431/.472. He slugged over .500 in each of the last two seasons, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him eventually cross that threshold with more time.

Andrew McCutchen is dealing with soreness on the bottom of his left foot as a result of landing on first base awkwardly during Thursday's game.
McCutchen stayed in the game and made a nice running catch and also stole a base. He's dealt with a left ankle issue this season but said the ailments are unrelated. "I can run on it fine," he said. "It's more just trying to stop or having to maneuver at the last second." While a bit of an annoyance, it doesn't sound like something that's going to keep McCutchen out of the lineup.
