Chicago Cubs (45-41) @ Pittsburgh Pirates (41-43)

Yu Darvish (2-4, 4.98) vs. Chris Archer (3-6, 5.50)

Third of four games in this series. Cubs on 3-game losing skid. Willson Contreras making a rather unorthodox start in right field for the Cubs.

B1 — Rizzo forced to do a split again tonight. Russell makes a great diving stop & then fires a throw that's a bit off the mark. Rizzo reaches out & is able to make the catch & get the runner out.

T3 — Bad luck for Javy on a beastly hit. He hits a liner so hard that it ricochets off the top of the wall in RF & sails right to the right fielder. About as powerful a single for Javy as you'll see. Runners on the corners with 2 outs.

M3 — Archer escapes. Rizzo grounds out to end inning. Cubs have been moving runners into scoring position with 2 outs a lot lately but have been largely unable to drive them home.

B4 — Darvish's difficulty in maintaining a lead comes to fruition. 2 doubles followed by 3-run jack from Cabrera. Bucs erase their deficit in practically no time at all.

T5 — Javy may not be partaking in the HR Derby, but he's been hitting a lot of long balls lately. No-doubter smoked out to straightaway CF. Game tied.

T5 — Rizzo gets hit by a pitch (which he's used to by now). He falls down but shakes it off.

M5 — Contreras hits single that pushes Rizzo to 3B. Caratini then hits a fly ball to LF that isn't deep enough for Rizzo to try to score on. Bote then strikes out on 3 straight pitches to leave 2 runners stranded.

B5 — Contreras makes a solid play in RF after freezing on a liner. He lays outs for a catch that causes him to leave his feet. He's making his 1st career start in RF.

B6 — Bell jacks a 405-foot solo bomb to put the Buccos in front. He's hit 4 homers so far in this series.

T7 — Caratini goes yard again! His 1st multi-homer game. He went yard from the left side of the plate earlier in the game. This time, he hits one from the right side. 2-run shot gives Cubs the lead.

B7 — Darvish gets pulled with 2 outs in the 7th. He fans 6 & gives up 4 runs on 7 hits. No walks issued. He's currently in line for the win.

M8 — Robel Garcia takes part in his 1st AB w/ the Cubs w/ 2 outs in the 8th. He strikes out on 4 pitches. He'll likely get several ABs before the All-Star break.

E8 — Wow! Willson Contreras shows that he should maybe get played in RF more often. Cannon of a throw gets Cabrera out at home to end the inning & maintain the Cubs' lead.

T9 — Baez nearly comes up w/ his 2nd HR of the night. Hits another deep single off the top of the wall. Not sure any player has ever hit 2 singles off the wall in the same game before now.

B9 — The baseball gods don't smile on Contreras this time around. He's used to having to make great throws but not running catches. He has a fly ball bounce off the end of his outstretched glove. Buccos now have runners on 2B & 3B with 1 out. Kimbrel looking to avoid his 1st blown save as a Cub.

B9 — Game tied. Russell tries his best at throwing out a runner at home on a chopper that he has to run up on in order to field. Caratini's swipe attempt a little too late. Contreras wasn't charged an error on the previous play, which went down as a double.

F — Pirates win it. Sac. fly from Dickerson brings home winning run. Schwarber's throw from LF not even close to being in time. Tough blow for Contreras, who kept the Cubs' lead intact with the great throw but then essentially lost it w/ the misplay in the next inning.
