Huge week nets Cutch top NL honor

The five-time All-Star walked six times last week, and he had multihit performances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to help lead the Bucs to a three-game sweep over the Dodgers. McCutchen homered on Wednesday and on Sunday, and he delivered four RBIs in a winning effort in that latter game.

The 28-year-old went 1-for-2 with two walks Tuesday, and he followed that up with two hits and a homer in a 7-5 win over the Cubs on Wednesday. McCutchen reached base 10 times in 15 plate appearances against the Dodgers, batting .583 with a .667 on-base percentage in his last three games.
