McCutchen went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-8 loss to Cleveland.
The 2013 NL MVP was the designated hitter and batted cleanup in his first action since Aug. 16 after missing time due to left knee inflammation. He tied the game at 4-4 in the fifth inning when he laced a two-RBI double off Ben Lively. However, McCutchen wasn't done, cracking a 369-foot solo shot off Emmanuel Clase -- only the second homer the Cleveland closer has allowed all season -- in the ninth. Overall, the 37-year-old is slashing .238/.337/.415 with 17 homers, 61 runs scored and 43 RBI in 442 plate appearances across 102 games.
