Welcome back, McCutchen

Andrew McCutchen is back in the lineup for the first time in a week, and the Pirates look to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Padres and to snap a three-game losing streak. Things have gone downhill pretty quickly from the team that battered the Brewers into submission on Wednesday, but besides a couple bad innings on Friday and Saturday they really haven’t played all that poorly the last few days.

Brad Lincoln looks to get back on track against Wade LeBlanc at 1:35. Clemente/Cangelosi is after the jump.

Not sure what this is? Check here and here. Short version: in the comments pick the Pirates you think will be most and least valuable in today’s game. If you haven’t jumped aboard yet, it’s been a lot of fun so far and now’s as good a time as any to join in.
