Digest this — all of it:
- The Pirates loaded the bases against Jon Lester in the first inning.
- The Pirates loaded them again — this time with nobody out — in the sixth.
- ... and again in the seventh, this time facing Tyler Chatwood.
- Steven Brault allowed two hits, posting a career-high eight strikeouts against just one walk through seven full innings of work.
- The Cubs — actually just Kris Bryant — committed two errors vs. one total for the Pirates.
