McCutchen went 2-for-5 Sunday and narrowly missed hitting a homer when the ball went just foul. "You look for a day like today to be a tipping point in the right direction for Andrew," manager Clint Hurdle told DK Pittsburgh Sports. "Very aggressive swings today. Saw 28 pitches in the at-bats he had. He looked aggressive, very confident."

Prior to Sunday, McCutchen had slashed .188/.278/.344 in his last 36 plate appearances since a three-homer game in Colorado. He'll get three games in Cincinnati and three contests at Wrigley Field in Week 6 to help work his way out of his funk.
