Bubba Chandler started for the Pirates with an opponent batting average of .201. The Cubs scored two runs in the first inning on Ian Happ’s two-run single after a leadoff walk and Nico Hoerner’s single. In the second inning, Pete Crow Armstrong’s RBI double made it 3-0 before Brandon Loud’s three-run homer tied it 3-3. The Cubs regained a 4-3 lead in the fourth on Swanson’s double and Armstrong’s 109-mph RBI double. Connor Griffin’s opposite-field solo homer tied the game 4-4 in the fifth, and Ian Happ made a diving left-field catch in the sixth. The Cubs then scored seven in the seventh: Happ’s three-run homer (11th of the year), Conorto’s pinch-hit two-run homer, and RBI from Michael Bush after being hit by a pitch. Ethan Roberts closed the final inning as the Pirates failed to rally, and the Cubs won 10-4 to end their 10-game losing streak.
"The Cubs' offense explodes. Michael Bush is hit by a pitch. Alex Bregman doubles down the left field line. Ian Happ hits a three-run home run to right field, his 11th of the year, giving the Cubs a 7-4 lead. Michael Conorto hits a pinch-hit two-run home run to right-center field, making it 9-4. Michael Bush follows with an RBI single, extending the lead to 10-4."
