Mhm Take A look at Ortiz's
numbers brought to you by the
Pennsylvania lottery and
obviously he needs a quick
giving up so many hits, their
batting, 108 off of him.
McKinstry lines, that one out to
center and the lead off base hit
for Chicago.
Good job.
Mckinstry doing a good job in
the leadoff spot swinging the
bat better as of late, good
approach, good at bats and in
the center.
Here comes bay and he's there.
Pop up Cruz that's two outs.
There's a strike out for luis
Ortiz at 100 miles an hour.
The leadoff hit the pesky,

base at 1st.
Rivas has it to down, he's a
first pitch.
Swinger out to center, Michael
cassio With room on the track at
a 123 start, five pitches from
Adrian Sampson he says thank you
very much.
Strike three called corner
almost to his doug out by the
time the home plate umpire chad
, Fairchild up the fearlessness
swinging, struck about their two
strikeouts.
I can't even get a word in
edgewise luis, two strikeouts in
the inning, three in a row for
Ortiz.
Here's PJ Higgins, Oh yeah,
there we go.
Then not immaculate, but pretty
close, strikes out the side in
order luis Ortiz 15 days got to
be down there.
Broken bat.
Oh look at the long arm of the
law.
Cruz down, looked like a spider
going after the ball is already
not high enough, struck him out
, looking to throw extra pitches
, got it done seven punchouts
Ball four, I like this a lot.
Here's the 31 pitch.
Second time today, esteban has
walked and now back to back
freebies and here comes Patrick
wisdom wisdom, straightaway,
center back, it goes back to the
track deep and gone.
The cubs strike first.
Patrick wisdom with his 25th
home run, a three run home run
comes up three to nothing here
in the fifth.
He absolutely smashes this one
straightaway center field that
is not short out there, that's
big boy power.
He's on the first.
Pirates need to score some runs
and get Ortiz off the hook into
left center field for Hayes,
he's going to get to the doesn't
matter leadoff double for Hayes
Hayes middle of the plate but he
still had to go down and get it
laser being from the right here.
24th double of the year splits
the gap in left center field, a
little lazy breaking ball that
doesn't do a whole lot from
Sampson got a little work to do
Hermosillo coming on and makes
the catch, saves a run for the
cubs with that grab out and
center Ryan Reynolds as a drive
to right.
Forget about it.
Clear the deck.
cannonball coming and anchor
down for brian Reynolds number
26 Pirates on the board in 3 to
1 finish to the season, Is it
possible?
He's 26, he's going a lot of new
guys around the division and
wisdom gets hit by a pitch and
Patrick has some words coming on
the heels of his home run.
The last time he was up from a
different pirate pitcher, you
can sit here and say oh it's not
on purpose, but last time
Patrick wisdom was up, he hit a
massive three run home run, took
his time a little bit and so
frustrated and he's saying I
didn't do it, I didn't do it
then at 1st and 2nd, nobody out.
And the batter is Ian Happ, he
lines one left center field,
that's a base hit, this will
drive in a run as Quiroz comes
in to score, wisdom will stop at
second.
R.B.I single.
Ian happ cubs lead 4 to 1 good
at bat.
For Ian he gets a fastball or
cutter inside just inside out
this ball and lost it over.
Cruz his head into left center
field velasquez is the pinch
hitter and it gets through O
Neill Cruz at short and two runs

gets through Cruz he tried to
charge the ball and on the back
hand effort never got a glove on
it, it bounced under his leather
and rolled out into shallow left
center field, two runs, score
weather, Gose and out.
Cruz kept the tag on.
They will not challenge caught
stealing tag, esteban, Quiroz
has reached the last three times
up a couple of walks a single,
he scored twice today Four times
in a row, Esteban will reach and
this base hit will drive in a
run.
Rivas comes in to score 71 Cubs
and a big day for Quiroz the
first time in his young career
has reached four times in the
game.
The throw down to 3rd and it
goes out into left field And
another miscue defensively for
the pirates brings McKinstry in
for the 8th run of the day
toward left center field and
caught a great at bat but still
you like to see him doing the
things he needs to do in that
scenario there fly ball to right
to the track, sacrifice fly,
makes it 8 to 32 outs, Give Jax
Muchlinski his 33rd ribhi 1 2
from Brandon Hughes out to left
center.
Hermosillo has got it and that's
the ball game cubs win cubs win
the series and cubs win the
season series over the Pirates
