Polanco just misses a 2 run HR then Baez hits one for Cubs. Cant get through 6. Holmes in. 3-2 cubs

Anderson pitched well today overall. It’s a shame he had to give up the homer to Baez in that 6th inning. The Pirates offense didn’t do him any favors either as they have squandered numerous scoring opportunities throughout this entire game.

Yeah, generally and outing of 5.1 IP, 10 hits and 3 runs isn't cause to celebrate. But it's one of the best efforts so far for a Pirate starter.

needed an EGon grand slam today, maybe some other Pirate will hit one.

Howard; 1 pitch, 1 HR.



Maybe they should put another LH reliever in. Oh, that's right. They have a well balanced BP of 8 RHPs and 1 LHP. :D

Crick at 14 pitches and is pulled. Risso with HR on first pitch from Howard.

Over-managing is an acceptable way to lose with this team.

that way Shelton can tell Ben, just think how bad it would have been if a lousy manager was making decisions.

A 2-run deficit for this team feels like a 12-run deficit for a normal team.
