The Chicago Cubs (2-2) got back in the win column on Monday, opening the home portion of the simulated season at Wrigley Field against the Pittsburgh Pirates (1-3), via MLB The Show 20. José Quintana pitched well early, Willson Contreras hit a grand slam, and the Cubs walked off with a 6-5 victory.
Quintana and Pirates starter Mitch Keller were both in control in the early innings. Keller didn’t allow a hit until the bottom of the 4th, when singles from Anthony Rizzo, Javier Báez, and Kyle Schwarber loaded the bases with nobody out.
