B1 — Alzolay off to bad start. Following leadoff single w/ error by Almora, Alzolay gives up walk & then gives up RBI single to Marte. Homer machine Bell then makes things worse with a 3-run bomb to right-center.

T2 — Javy bomb! His 21st. Jacked out to right-center to put the Cubs on the board.

B2 — Pirates continuing to light Alzolay up at the plate. Bell hits his 2nd HR of the night (2-run bomb). Moran then hits an RBI double off the wall that nearly goes out.

B3 — Alzolay done after 57 pitches. Rough outing for him. All part of the learning curve.

T4 — After having his batting helmet fly off, Almora seems to come off the bag at 3B. Pirates third baseman keeps his glove on Almora for the out. Almora not happy with the call. Cubs don't challenge. Meanwhile, 2 runs score on bases-loaded single by Caratini. Cubs have new life.

T4 — Things really interesting now. Brach (yes, the reliever) hits an RBI single up the middle to score Caratini after HBP. It appears that Williams is losing it on the mound. Pirates challenging the call, though.

T4 — Call stands. Caratini definitely appeared to graze the plate before being tagged on the bottom of his cleat.

M4 — KB pops out to 2B to end inning & leave 3 runners stranded. Still an effective 3-run inning for the Cubs, who are back in the game.

B4 — Pirates get the runs back & are back up by 6. A couple of clutch 2-out hits lead to 3 runs scoring for Buccos.

E5 — 2 more runs come across for the Pirates in the 5th. Bell hits a deep fly ball to LF that nearly marks his 3rd homer of the night.

B7 — Pretty embarrassing that a position player is pitching in the 7th, but the Cubs' bullpen has been taxed. Descalso gives up 2-run blast to Kang.

B8 — After Maddon promised last week that Kimbrel would only appear in close games in the 9th inning or later, he appears with the Cubs trailing by 10 in the 8th. He gives up a solo bomb in the 1st AB. Guess it's better to use him than tax another middle reliever further. Thankfully, the Cubs will have several off days in July, which the bullpen will appreciate.

B8 — Kimbrel gives up another homer (he also nearly gave up a homer on a double off the top of the wall). Bell goes yard for the 3rd time tonight. What a year he is having. Undoubtedly, this is the most embarrassing performance of the year for the Cubs. Will likely be one of the most lopsided losses of Maddon's career.

F — The torture is over. Cubs give up a whopping 23 hits on the night. Embarrassing loss for the Cubs.
