CHICAGO -- Rookie Kris Bryant smacked a two-run single and Anthony Rizzo drove in two runs to back Jason Hammel and lead the Cubs to a 4-0 victory Monday night over the Pirates at chilly Wrigley Field.
Hammel held the Pirates to four hits over eight innings, the longest outing by a Cubs starter this season, and struck out a season-high seven. He has walked one and struck out 23 in his four starts this season.
Vance Worley, who beat the Cubs last week at PNC Park, took the loss, serving up four runs on nine hits over six innings.
