McCutchen went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-8 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The former MVP was the designated hitter and batted cleanup in his first action since Aug. 16 due to left knee inflammation. He tied the game at 4-4 in the fifth when he laced a two-RBI double off Ben Lively. However, McCutchen wasn't done yet, cracking a 369-foot solo shot off Emmanuel Clase -- only the second homer the Cleveland closer has allowed all season -- in the ninth inning. Overall, the 37-year-old is now slashing .238/.337/.415 with 17 homers, 61 runs scored and 43 RBI in 442 plate appearances across 102 games.
