Kyle Hendricks did not have his best stuff tonight, but he did his best to keep the Cubs in the game. After allowing a leadoff home run to Josh Harrison, he limited the Pirates to only one additional run, which came across the plate in the 2nd inning.
That tally proved to be the game-winner, as the Cubs bats were largely silent with men on base throughout the game. They got seven hits and walked four times against Joe Musgrove in his seven innings of work, but Musgrove did a great job of bearing down when the pressure was high (Box score).
