Smyly (7-4) pitched five scoreless innings. He
allowed three hits, tied a career high with five walks and
struck out four.
The Pirates have lost seven straight.
In his second major league start, Pittsburgh's Osvaldo Bido
(0-1) gave up three runs and five hits in six innings, with
seven strikeouts and two walks. Both of Bido's starts have come
against the Cubs.
The Pirates' Henry Davis, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021
draft, was 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in his major league
debut. He started in right field.
In the second, Cody Bellinger singled to right with one out but
was erased when Christopher Morel grounded into a forceout. Yan
Gomes singled to center, moving Morel to second. Miles
Mastrobuoni, the No. 9 hitter in the Cubs' lineup, drew a
four-pitch walk to load the bases with two outs.
Tauchman then drove in Morel and Gomes with a base hit to center
for a 2-0 Chicago lead. Hoerner brought Mastrobuoni home with a
single to center to make it 3-0.
In the seventh, pinch hitter Nick Madrigal singled to center
against Pirates reliever Ryan Borucki, stole second and scored
on Tauchman's base hit to left for a 4-0 Chicago lead.
An out later, Yohan Ramirez replaced Borucki and induced a
groundout before intentionally walking Ian Happ, who stole
second. Tauchman then scored on Swanson's infield single to make
it to 5-0.
The Cubs scored three more runs in the eighth. With one out,
Gomes walked and Madrigal got hit by a pitch. Second baseman Ji
Hwan Bae's throwing error on Tauchman's potential double-play
grounder allowed Gomes to score. Madrigal came home on Hoerner's
groundout, and Suzuki's double to left drove in Tauchman to
forge the final score.
Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-2 with two walks for Pittsburgh, which
has been shut out in two of its last three games.
