PHOENIX, April 18 (UPI) -- Andrew McCutchen had four hits and drove in the go-ahead run Tuesday in the Pittsburgh Pirates' 5-4 win over Arizona.

McCutchen, who also scored twice, dropped a two-out single into left field in the ninth inning that brought Alex Presley in from third and broke a 4-4 tie. Garret Jones and Neil Walker both had three hits and an RBI for the Pirates, who had dropped six of their seven previous games.

The Diamondbacks, who have lost three of their last five, led 3-1 after two innings. They lost the lead in the sixth but scored a single run in the eighth to tie the score 4-4.
