CHICAGO -- Vance Worley gave up four runs on nine hits Monday night against the Cubs. But it's the one walk that came back to hurt him more than anything else.
Specifically, it was one 3-2 pitch to Dexter Fowler that didn't quite cut back far enough across the plate.
Worley wound up walking Fowler to extend the third inning, and the heart of the Cubs' lineup tacked on three runs as the Pirates lost, 4-0, at Wrigley Field.
"After the two-out walk, Vance wasn't able to execute pitches that he's been able to execute throughout the young season so far," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
