PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Dansby Swanson hit an RBI single and Seiya Suzuki drew a bases-loaded walk in the 10th inning as the Chicago Cubs held on for a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Swanson\u2019s single scored automatic runner Ian Happ, who barely beat center fielder Jake Mangum\u2019s throw to make it 2-1. The call was upheld after a video review.<\/p>\n
Suzuki’s walk came off Yohan Ram\u00edrez (6-3).<\/p>\n
Gavin Holliwell allowed a run on Nick Gonzales’ groundout in the bottom of the 10th but hung on for his first save. Caleb Thielbar (3-2) worked a scoreless ninth.<\/p>\n
The Pirates opened the scoring in the fifth inning on back-to-back walks to Marcel Ozuna and Brandon Lowe and consecutive infield singles by Jared Triolo and Henry Davis.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh had the bases loaded with none out, but Matthew Boyd escaped the jam.<\/p>\n
Pete Crow-Armstong tied it at 1-1 in the sixth when he hit his 22nd home run of the season into the right-field stands off Jared Jones. Left fielder Happ helped to keep the score 1-1 in the seventh when he threw out Davis at home for an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n
Crow-Armstrong also doubled in the third.<\/p>\n
Boyd surrendered only one run in seven innings despite giving up seven hits and three walks. The left-hander did not factor in the decision, but his six-game winning streak stayed intact.<\/p>\n
Jones pitched one-run ball over six innings, allowing two hits, striking out five and walking one. In his last four starts, Jones has given up three runs in 21 innings.<\/p>\n
