Andrew McCutchen didn't really know what to say today after hitting his 241st home run as a Pirate and surpassing Roberto Clemente on the Pirates' all-time home run list, all while helping deliver a 5-2 win over the Marlins at PNC Park.

"It’s so fresh," he would say. "Just happy I was able to do it here at home." 

With two on in the fifth, McCutchen squared up a splitter from Cal Quantrill and sent it 405 feet into the left field seats:

"The whole time I was more in disbelief that the ball went out than anything because I mean, we’ve hit some balls, and I have myself here, that it just seems like the ball just doesn’t go," McCutchen said. "... But it was more like, ‘Oh. It got out.’ I was like, ‘Alright. Thank God that’s over and thank God I did it here." 

He then stepped to the top of the dugout for a curtain call from the 16,709 on hand.

"They threw it up on the board for me. So definitely had to go out there and be recognized for that and just tell everybody thanks for being there and being able to be in that moment with me. It’s great to have had that opportunity to be able to do it here."

McCutchen tied Clemente on June 1 against the Padres and now trails Willie Stargell (475) and Ralph Kiner (301). He's hit 325 in his career after hitting 84 over five seasons with the Giants, Yankees, Phillies and Brewers. 

Doing it in a win made it more special for McCutchen. The Pirates had recorded five hits, but Quantrill had retired eight of the last 10 batters and the offense was looking to capitalize with runners in scoring position. 

"That was huge, to come up in that moment," Kelly said. "We've been searching for hits with runners on base and he came up with a huge one today." 

"I’m more excited about the win than that because I could’ve done it and lost and I’d been like, ‘Cool,’ " McCutchen said. "But to get the win and do it definitely helps me appreciate it a little more." 

• Bailey Falter allowed one earned run -- Heriberto Hernandez's first major-league home run in the sixth -- but scattered five hits and struck out three. He stranded four runners in scoring position and worked himself out of a bases loaded jam when Agustín Ramírez hit this 107 mph line out to Bryan Reynolds: "Huge relief," Falter said. "If a guy is going to hit a ball (107), it's usually going to go pretty far. I'm just happy it found No. 10 out there in right field." 

Falter has earned a win in three of his last five starts at PNC Park and has produced a 2.96 ERA and .0.94 WHIP at home this season. He said he found success in mixing his pitches today as he used his curveball, fastball and splitter evenly, throwing them at 31, 28 and 25% rates, respectively.

"These guys knew that I'm like 75-80% heater, they were jumping on it," Falter said. "But we just mixed with the timing, Hank (Davis) called a great game and we were on the same page the whole time."

• With two more hits today, Ke'Bryan Hayes is now hitting .320 over his last seven games and has a four-game hitting streak with two multi-hit games. He played a big role in the win by hitting a single before McCutchen's home run. He also drew a throw on a steal attempt in the second inning that sailed into center field and allowed Davis to score.
