ARLINGTON -- Though he has begun to thaw out after a slow start to the season, posting a batting average that is 64 points higher in May than in April over the same number of at-bats entering Saturday's game, Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen believes his swing is not where it needs to be yet.
He homered and singled in a run in Friday night's 9-1 win over the Rangers, but McCutchen was just as focused Saturday on the three times he struck out in the series opener. McCutchen entered play Saturday having struck out 49 times in 210 plate appearances this year, a strikeout rate of 23.
