Pirates start hot, but miss opportunities in 4-3 loss to Cubs

Things were going great for the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday night, until they weren’t.

The Pirates fell to the Chicago Cubs 4-3 despite a 3-0 lead early.

The Pirates wasted no time getting on the scoreboard after Adam Frazier and Ben Gamel got on base to begin the game.

Then, in the second inning, a Will Craig ground rule double and a Frazier HBP set up Ben Gamel to drive in the third Buccos run of the night.

Ben Gamel has 2 hits, a run scored, and his first Pirate RBI.
