Cubs 2, Pirates 1: Seiya, Smyly!

I told you this Cubs team had talent and was better than you thought.

They showed off some of that talent Tuesday in Pittsburgh, as Seiya Suzuki’s two home runs provided the margin of victory in a 2-1 win over the Pirates. And, Drew Smyly’s Cubs debut was a strong, successful one, with five really good innings.

The teams traded zeroes over the first four innings, with the Cubs providing some sparkling defense from Nico Hoerner [VIDEO].

Who says Nico can’t handle MLB shortstop?
