PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew McCutchen hit a go-ahead two-run double in the seventh inning just seconds before a fan fell off the 21-foot Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Chicago Cubs 4-3. McCutchen’s grounder up the middle deflected off the leg of sliding shortstop Dansby Swanson and into right-center field. The Pirates snapped a three-game losing streak. Then the fan flipped over the railing from the first row of seats. Players frantically waved for medical attention and the fan was removed from the field on a cart.
