McCutchen left the game and was replaced by Jay Bruce. He went to left field and another former Pirate, Sean Rodriguez, went to center. The Phillies lost 8-2.
McCutchen entered the game hitting .256 with 10 home runs, 29 RBIs and an .832 OPS.
Sensing the injury may be severe, McCutchen asked for some support from his fans on Twitter.
Pray for me. Please

According to ESPN.com, McCutchen is guessing that this was not an ACL injury.
“I didn’t feel it pop or anything,” McCutchen said. “Something felt uncomfortable, something that made me grab my knee and go down. I’ve had an ACL injury before, and I know what that feels like. This didn’t feel like that.”
He is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday
