Game Thread: Is this Andrew McCutchen’s last home game in Pittsburgh?

Nobody knows what’s going to happen with Andrew McCutchen. I’d say it’s slightly unlikely he gets traded this offseason, but it also seemed incredibly likely he’d get traded in the past. In any event, if you’re at PNC Park, you should probably give Cutch some extra vocal support anyway, and appreciate the presence of a Pirates great.

Also, Pedro Alvarez is starting and playing first base for the Orioles. He, too, deserves your adoration.

Chad Kuhl faces Gabriel Ynoa in the starting pitching matchup for the 7:05 p.m. game.

The lineups:

Orioles

1. Austin Hays, CF
2. Jonathan Schoop, 2B
3. Manny Machado, 3B
4. Pedro Alvarez, 1B
