McCutchen went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and three runs scored during Sunday's win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The ninth-inning homer just padded Pittsburgh's lead, but it was a welcomed blast for fantasy owners. McCutchen is riding an 11-for-27 stretch at the plate with three homers, eight RBI and nine runs through his past eight games, and the stretch has him up to a .232/.313/.419 slash line for the season. It's worth noting that he's batted sixth in each of those eight contests, so perhaps the shift down the lineup is helping to kick-start his bat.
