Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen became the first Pittsburgh player in history to reach base safely in each of his first four postseason plate appearances Tuesday night in the wild card win over the Reds.

McCutchen went 2 for 3 with two walks in the game as he scored a run in the 6-2 win to put the Pirates into the National League Division Series against the Cardinals. It was Pittsburgh's first playoff win since 1992.

The 26-year-old MVP of the Pirates hit .317 this season with 21 homers, 84 RBI and 27 stolen bases over 583 at-bats. He finished sixth in the NL in runs with 97 and fourth in walks with 78.
