Mhm Tauchman in their for the
Cubs to lead things off this
evening facing Johan Camargo
Oviedo of the Pirates.
Oviedo starts the game with a
strikeout.
Tauchman down, swinging the
start two and two on Niko Horner
fly ball tracked down by the
Juan Bay playing at second base
tonight for the Pirates
imperative.
The starter goes a little deeper
in the game 1 to 3 inning.
A pair of strikeouts for Oviedo.
Now the Pirates coming back,
Marcus Stroman, he has one, his
last six consecutive starts and
he loves this one hop smash and
throws to first in addition to
being an excellent pitcher, I
think he's one of the best
fielding pitchers I have ever
seen.
And there's a high fly ball to
left coming in shortstop, going
out till coming in and you can't
make the catch and Hayes's at
first might be at second base,
but he's at first with what they
will rule a single shallow
center.
Tauchman racing in coming in
from writers Suzuki to make the
catch Carlos Santana nothing for
four last night.
One hopper to Bellinger kicks
the cushion and that's that
Pirates don't score nothing,
nothing game at the end of 11
down here in the top of the
third.
Tucker Barnhart at the plate
pitch, Barnhart drills won deep
right center field.
This may go and it is gone.
Tucker Barnhart with a home run
is first in a Cubs uniform in a
right center field and the Cubs
strike first a one nothing lead
over the Pirates here in the
third pulls one into the right
field corner that's going to be
a fair ball bouncing up against
the wall in around second might
be getting three.
Joe having trouble with the
ball.
It's a one out triple for a in
half.
Joe thought the ball bounced out
of the play.
I think that's what he's yelling
into the umpire.
Ryan Wills about tell perfectly
there, but it looked like it had
bounced out of play.
Confirmed it's a fair ball.
It is a three base hit for Ian
Happy and he's hitting over 500
against Oviedo and let's see if
Swanson can drive them in
inside.
It may have hit him in the hand
has shaken up.
He is hit by a pitch have had 13
hit batters in the last 16
games.
Dansby in Pane, but he is an
absolute gamer.
He stays in there.
The infield moves back.
Cody Bellinger at the plate
runners at 1st and 3rd with one
down toward left centerfield
coming in and making a shoe
string, catches Palacios tagging
and scoring easy in half RB I
for Bellinger and the Cub's lead
by a pair.
Madrigal flied to centre his
first time pretty well hit to
left Gose Palacios.
Still going, still going.
That ball is off the wall pulls
in at second with a double.
That would probably be a home
run in every other park in the
league except Barnhart trying to
advance the A runner at second.
Nobody out.
Fifth inning hit in the air to
right deep back.
Gose Joe near the fence makes
the catch tagging and going to
third is Madrigal Barnhart
almost with another extra base
knock RB I opportunity from Mike
Tauchman.
Come back to strike him out
fastball at the top of the zone.
Third strike out for Oviedo.
Now the infield could back up
try to get the hitter and Horner
a full count guided towards
short Marcano and he gets out of
it.
So working around a leadoff
double, they bounced out too
short his first time, Connor Joe
leading not running swing and a
miss strike three delay hitting
to 93 lined out to write his
first time up tonight in the air
to left centre playable for half
or Tauchman.
The latter will make the catch
two down.
A man at first Josh Palacios
robbed in a good play by Swanson
his last time.
This should be routine for
Horner and that retires the side
five innings of shutout ball in
the book's for Marcus Stroman
Cubs lead two to nothing.
A single to left and single to
center off the hands to third on
the ground.
Madrigal takes care of that one
down.
Good pitch.
Here comes the old one shallow
center coming in.
Tauchman makes a nice sliding
catch.
Minsky took one away at the top
of the inning and now he gets
robbed on a good play by
Tauchman to down Stroman picks
that one out of midair and
shovels to first to end the
inning play.
Gose 123.
The Pirates go 123 cubs lead by
a pair.
Marcus Stroman has been
brilliant again tonight working
on a four hit shutout.
He was behind three and o he
comes back to get him strikeout
number three for Stroman at a
very impressive one at that
right back to the fastball at 92
one out double for Pittsburgh
here in the seventh.
And the pitch to Joe from Marcus
Stroman called strike three, two
outs, two on working harder in
this inning that he hasn any
other frame of the night.
And now Cal Mitchell steps in,
he got him, Stroman strikes out
Mitchell to end the inning.
A after that seventh inning, the
Cubs would absolutely love to
get an insurance run deep drive
to write off the bat of mhm.
Mike Tauchman with a home run
and the Cubs lead three to
nothing for three Moret delivers
that into left centre in the
alley.
It's going to roll out the
track.
Niko is going to be thinking
three.
Yes, he is around second flying
towards not in time.
Nobody out of run on the bank
Cubs on top three.
Nothing.
And Suzuki ready to try to dr in
another run that's in the air to
left should be deep enough.
Niko is going to try to catch by
Palacios.
Here comes Horner throw to the
plate, a good throw and he's out
of the plate.
A double play as we watch the
replay.
David Ross might want that to be
challenged.
There we go.
RB.
I smiles all around
Adbert Alzolay.
Now pitching for the Cubs a 1.97
A in 26 appearances this season
, he is not allowed to run in
eight straight outings.
The longest streak of his
Marcano hits a pop up foul
territory off to the left
playable for Madrigal who makes
the catch and the Cubs win again
another vintage stroll show as
the Cubs beat the Pirates for.
