a 4-3 loss<\/a>.<\/p>\nChicago jumped in front in the series finale on Amaya\u2019s sixth homer, a two-run drive to left with two out in the fifth. It was his first homer since Aug. 16.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh responded with three runs in the sixth. Reynolds reached on a leadoff walk and scored on Nick Gonzales\u2019 ground-rule double. With one out and the bases loaded, Lowe made it 4-2 when he drove in Rafael Flores Jr. and Gonzales with a pinch-hit liner to center off Aaron Civale.<\/p>\n
Chicago closed to 4-3 on Nico Hoerner\u2019s grounder to second in the bottom half. But the Cubs left the bases loaded when Pedro Ram\u00edrez flied to right against Mlodzinski, ending the inning.<\/p>\n
