| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pirates | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 0 |
| Cubs | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | - | 3 | 9 | 0 |
The Cubs (10-6) mastery of the Pirates (7-9) continues, albeit within the regular nine innings this time.
Ian Snell (2-1) had one bad inning where he allowed all the Cubs runs. (It’s never a good thing to start an inning by allowing a lead-off triple, like Snell did to Fukudome.) That was enough for Rich Hill (1-0) and the Cubs bullpen. Kerry Wood (S 4) chimed in with the save.
Nate McLouth continues his hot hitting, extending his streak to 16 games (that’s every game this year, I believe) with a homer in the 8th.
The two play again today with Tom Gorzelanny pitching against Jason Marquis at 1:05pm EDT.
