Cubs 5, Pirates 4: Words of Wisdom

Well.

This one wasn’t quite as crazy as Saturday’s, but then, most games aren’t.

The Cubs got good pitching and bad pitching, timely hitting and times you wanted to rip your hair out because they didn’t, and in the end held on for a 5-4, 10-inning win over the Pirates. Combined with the Brewers’ 4-3 loss to the Cardinals Sunday, the Cubs move back to within half a game of first place.

Let’s begin at the beginning.

The Cubs had taken a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. Nico Hoerner led off the game with a single and two outs later, Christopher Morel yanked a ball into the seats [VIDEO].
