Cubs Rally To Beat The Pirates

CHICAGO (AP) — Alex Bregman scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning as the Chicago Cubs rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3. Gregory Soto hit Nico Hoerner with a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs to drive in Bregman. Before Hoerner’s at-bat, Soto walked pinch-hitter Matt Shaw to force in Pedro Ramirez from third to tie it at 3. The Cubs win their second straight. Ryan O’Hearn hit his career-best 18th homer of the season, a three-run drive in the sixth, to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 lead. Pittsburgh starter Paul Skenes allowed two runs on four hits in seven innings while striking out four and walking one.
