The Cubs got homers from Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward and a solid pitching performance from Jake Arrieta to even their record at 1-1.
The Pirates not only lost the game, but also lost the services of highly regarded rookie third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes, who left the game in the top of the third with left wrist discomfort after jamming his left hand while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the first inning.
