PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Pirates designated hitter Andrew McCutchen and shortstop Oneil Cruz were both injured running the bases and removed in the seventh inning Friday night against the Seattle Mariners. McCutchen singled to left field with one out and began limping just as he reached first base. Ji Hwan Bae pinch ran for McCutchen, who extended his hitting streak to a season-high 11 games. Two batters later, Oneil Cruz hit a two-run double to right field and stumbled as he rounded second base. He was then pinch run for by Jared Triolo. McCutchen was diagnosed with left knee discomfort and Cruz with left ankle discomfort.
