Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen fell just short of hitting for the cycle Friday, in an 8-2 win over the Phillies.
McCutchen finishes the game 4 for 5, and got everything but the home run out of the way in his first three at-bats. He would miss the cycle in his final two plate appearances, as he added a double instead. McCutchen finished the game with one run scored, two driven in and a stolen base.
McCutchen is hitting .323/.425/.536, ranking third in the National League in OPS. He is also fifth in RBI (52) and 10th in stolen bases (13), while hitting 12 home runs in 84 games.
