The Cubs and Pirates matched up for the third game of their series at a sunny Wrigley Field Saturday afternoon. Runs were hard to come by yet again, but Chicago grabbed a late advantage and hung on for a tight win.
Andrew McCutchen greeted Matthew Boyd rudely with a solo home run in the top of the 1st that gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead. Nico Hoerner singled off of starter Mike Burrows, stole second base, and then came in to score the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Ian Happ in the 3rd.
