here tonight it’s the Cubs hosting the Pirates the first of a four game set for Wrigley Field pitcher here tonight it is Justin steel you see he has a curveball in a change up but he hardly ever uses them it’s fast ball slider 97% of the time first pitch strike to Conor Joe who is 6 for 10 in his career against Justin steel and he lines it into center field Conor Joe who’s Ops coming into this game 867 eighth highest in the National League and that will climb after that solid single to Center underway with the leadoff man at first base and that’ll bring up Brian Reynolds popped up and magical and that quickly Reynolds retired here’s O’Neal Cruz left on left homered off Steel on Saturday on the ground to the right side let’s see if they can turn it they get one on the first and it’s safe that was certainly hit hard enough but just didn’t get enough on that feed just to master boury over there at second base should have been a double play so the inning continues now with Edward olivaris a line drive to left field hit deep to the wall and clear the deck Cannonball coming for edio number five on the season two nothing pirates in the first well a little miscue at second base there allowing O’Neal Cruz to beat out the backside of the double play nice to capitalize on it right there Edward Olivares get Justin Steel up in the zone give you an opportunity to get underneath something and drive it and now Nick Gonzalez the third baseman at the plate in the air to Right Center Suzuki on the move and seya makes a nice sliding grab heck of a play by seya Suzuki to steal extra bases from Nick Gonzalez Jared Jones eight starts fantastic 268 ra and 47 Innings pitched 56 strikeouts in 47 Innings pitched talkman pops it up foul territory off to the left the catcher grandal near the on Deck Circle makes the catch one away Jared Jones facing seya Suzuki on the ground through the left side hole and a base hit between Gonzalez and Cruz so seya punches a 98 mph for seamer through that left side hole now Cody Bellinger who homered off Jones on Saturday in the air right field that one back back some more and caught up against the wall by olaris Bellinger just missed it yeah oh so close to a tie ball game win earlier today was blowing out to right that ball wasn’t really high a little higher there might be a little more carry Morel was one for three against Jared Jones last Friday and a roller Cruz doesn’t think about throwing to Second instead guns it across to First and Jared Jones keeps the Cubbies off the board two nothing Pittsburgh justtin seal gets the first out here in the second and now it’s Jack swinsky getting the start the Chicago native swanging a miss and Ste not interested in that reduced strike out rate as he fans him for his first punch out with one on and two away one-w count with Williams at the plate takes off pitches cut on and missed the strike out and that’ll in the top of the second steel punches out a couple pitches around the walk from Midway in inning number two and half looks at a curveball for a strike going and one the count to begin the bottom of the second inning Jared Jones The right-hander Works his motion the next pitch drilled deep down the right field Line This is gone it hit the foul pole for a home run welcome back Ian half home run number two on the year for haer and the Cubs are on the board Al Ian Gets a pitch to hit Ian stays around home PL gives it a little body English and bangs off the fencing next to the foul pole and it ends up being hey hey for the Cubs is it hit right below the famous call third strikeout of the night for steel as Nick Gonzalez digs in and a drive to left field going back hap to the wall and clear the deck with a Gonzo Gunner that’s his second and it is 3-1 Pirates a no doubter right there from Nick Gonzalez just like before if you can get Justin steel up in the zone especially at this ballpark the Pirates have got a chance to lose a couple of baseballs Michael bus at the plate two away here in the fourth ripped and that’ll touchdown and head towards the corner Bus Around first on his way to Second olis will dig it out and with two outs the Cubs have a man in scoring position a double from Michael Bush so bus in scoring position with two away here in the last of the fourth it’ll bring up Nick molus the other way base hit bus to third ol up with it here’s the throw to the plate tag save and magical to Second it’s 32 well there’s your drama a bang bang play at home PL it’s so important for Bush to get an aggressive lead there with oliv’s really shortened up in right MRI will hit the ball with a little steam on it well played by oler good base running by Bush Michael Taylor going to go into at least second base yes cut off by Suzuki and a lead off double for Taylor and now Reynolds is 0 for two couple of pop ups ground ball off the glove of Morell and into left field Reynolds will head to second base with an RBI double Taylor scores huge Run for the Pirates to make it 4-2 ball was hit hard to the back hand of morel tried to go down and make a diing play almost like his Fleet got stuck with him and went off his glove and trickled back into Fair territory had a desperate effort and trying to field it on a hop went off his glove and into Center hard hit single for tochman to over there at first two now one and two on Cody hit hard pass Conor Joel down the right field line going to pick it up as ol they going to send tman the play and he’s in and it’s a 43 game nice that bat by belly as he fouled off some good pitches he fou off a couple High fast balls that were not easy to get on top of and then gets a fast ball up in the zone in side Conor Joe I think this ball kind of surprises him and it goes right past him inside the bag at first olivaris into second base with a standup double you hit it the other way you at least Advance the runner and now the Cubs here with one out have to play the infield in yeah Mani grandal at the plate switch hitter batting from the right side 0 for two tonight the pitch line drive to right coming in Suzuki oh he missed it it gets by him coming in to score is olivaris and cruising in the second basee is grandal Pirates got away with a break right there a lowline drive to suzuk Suzuki and olivaris was caught in between whether or not he needed a tag up or be halfway because the the ball was so low and Suzuki just missed it might have been one of those ones that got in the lights those lowline drives like that give outfielders fits there’s a new pitcher on the mound for Pittsburgh Colin Holderman takes over Holderman grew up in Bourbon a by about an hour south of here seya Suzuki digs in righty righty matchup older’s ready pitch oh it hits seya by the reaction to seya that one buzzed them pretty good he’s kind of got that dead arm still shaking his arm as he’s going up the line seya stays in the game though he’s at first base no one out Cody Bellinger at the plate representing the tying run Holderman deals with a Tacker out front of the plate grandal picks it up throws it away SU to third he’ll stop there Bellinger into second and they’re in business it’s second and third nobody out here bottom an error by the catcher grandall catches this far picks up this ball I should say barehanded he spins and throws but throws this ball right into the runner Bellinger and goes down the line o for three couple of ground outs Andy is struck out ripped left field sininsky has it tagging from third coming in to score is SE Suzuki and the Cubs are within one it’s outside and ball four so the tying run at second to goahead run is at first and magical will get a chance to hit bouncing ball backand Williams a little late getting the ball out of his glove but he’ll get the out nonetheless well nicely done by pitching coach Oscar Marines settling down Holderman Pirates lead by one pirates bringing on closure David bnar and coming in with eight saves and 11 tries he’s gotten back on track after a bumpy start to the season with one down it’ll bring up Patrick wison a strong powerful right-handed batter hitting at 303 this season he struck him out with 97 painted it two outs in the bottom of the ninth excellent Pit by David bnar so the Cubs down to their last out Mike talkman at the plate he swings and Pops it up left side O’Neal Cruz and r the Jolly Roger and Wrigley David Bednar saves it for the rookie Phenom Jared Jones and a Big W will be raised here at Wrigley Field in the first of a four game series
