With a left-hander on the mound, the Kansas City Royals didn't want to throw Andrew McCutchen a strike. "We didn't care if we walked him," manager Ned Yost said. Sound strategy, poor execution. McCutchen homered and drove in three runs, A.J. Burnett won his fifth consecutive start and the Pittsburgh Pirates finished their first sweep of an AL team in more than a decade by beating the Royals 3-2 Sunday.
