Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (5/7/21): Cubs 3, Pirates 2 – Cubs Survive Late Pirate Rally, Extend Winning Streak to Four Games

The Cubs looked to extend their winning streak to four at a chilly and blustery Wrigley Field Friday. Zach Davies threw a gem and the offense did just enough to get the win.

Chicago took the lead in the 1st inning on a missed-catch error by right fielder Philip Evans which scored Joc Pederson. Pederson had a run-scoring single in the 2nd and Matt Duffy added a sacrifice fly the next inning to make it 3-0.

Davies got a ton of ground ball outs, a career-high 14 to be exact, and blew through the Pirates lineup.
