McCutchen’s Leadoff Spark Fuels Pirates’ Wins Over Brewers

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton’s strategic move to place veteran Andrew McCutchen in the leadoff position has sparked the team to two consecutive wins against the Milwaukee Brewers. Since assuming the leadoff role, McCutchen has registered five hits in eight at-bats and launched a home run in each of the first two innings of the series. Pittsburgh now seeks to secure a series victory for the first time since early April when they face the Brewers again on Wednesday.
