Cubs Split Series: 11-0 and 3-2
The Cubs escaped in 10 innings to beat the Pirates 3-2, with Pete Crow-Armstrong's 22nd homer tying the game in the sixth and Dansby Swanson's RBI single followed by Seiya Suzuki's bases-loaded walk delivering the decisive two runs in the 10th. Matthew Boyd pitched seven strong innings for Chicago and Gavin Holliwell earned the save, while crucial Cubs defense by Hoerner and Happ stifled late Pittsburgh threats.
