Cubs vs. Pirates: Game 1 Thread

Chicago Cubs (27-22) @ Pittsburgh Pirates (28-24)

Mike Montgomery (0-1, 5.33) vs. Chad Kuhl (4-2, 4.20)

Montgomery makes first start of season for Cubs. Another reeling pitcher getting the nod a day after Chatwood struggled. Cubs get to take on a Pirates team that has been playing its worst baseball of season. 3-7 in last 10 games. Batting order shakeup for Cubs. Almora batting ninth one game after batting leadoff.

E1 — Montgomery looks great through 1. 3 up, 3 down for both teams in 1st frame.

It's just too easy. One swing. One run. Rizzo continues his hot month of May.

T2 — One of the easiest robbed home runs you'll see after Rizzo's bomb. Schwarber has one taken away by Pirates' Dickerson a casual leap at the wall in left field.

B5 — Montgomery finally allows a baserunner after sitting down the 1st 13 Pirates batters. A single by Dickerson (who robbed Schwarber of HR earlier) breaks up perfect game.

B6 — Great start for Montgomery. 5.2 innings of 2-hit ball. Also tallied 5 Ks. Most important stat, however? 0 walks. Makes a great case for replacing Chatwood (the man with endless walks to his name) in the Cubs' rotation. Montgomery couldn't have asked for a better day to make his 1st start of the year.

T8 — Unlucky inning for Pirates, but Cubs benefit. First, Baez somehow fights off inside pitch that breaks bat and gets a single. Then, with runners on, potential double play broken up by Rizzo slide at home that forces bad throw to 1st from catcher. Pirates argue that the slide wasn't clean, but it appears to be.
