Pirates All-Star center fielder Andrew McCutchen waited until his final at-bat of the game on Thursday to extend his hitting streak. McCutchen led off the ninth with a solo home run, his 11th of the season, but it wasn't enough to avoid the 4-1 loss to the Cardinals.

"It felt good," McCutchen said, per MLB.com. "I'll take it into tomorrow."

With the homer, McCutchen has now hit safely in 16 straight games. He's batting .370 with two home runs and 12 RBI during the 16-game stretch.
