Pittsburgh starter Rich Hill (6-7) allowed five runs (three
earned) and four hits in 5 2/3 innings, with four strikeouts and
two walks.
Pittsburgh scored first when Connor Joe walked and scored when
Palacios doubled to right in the second. That gave the Pirates a
1-0 lead and ended a 25-inning scoring drought.
Chicago answered with a three-run third. Miguel Amaya doubled to
left and Mike Tauchman followed with a walk. Both advanced on
Madrigal's sacrifice bunt. Hoerner tripled to right and Seiya
Suzuki's sacrifice fly to center brought home Hoerner to make it
3-1.
With two outs in the sixth, Christopher Morel reached on third
baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes' throwing error. Trey Mancini was hit by
a pitch. Happ's double to left drove in Morel and Mancini to
increase Chicago's lead to 5-1.
With two outs in the seventh, Hoerner hit his fifth homer, to
right, to up it to 6-1.
Pittsburgh got two runs in the bottom of the seventh on just one
hit. Joe singled to center and Henry Davis got hit by a pitch
one out later. Cal Mitchell walked to load the bases and chase
Hendricks for Mark Leiter Jr., who struck out Rodolfo Castro.
Pinch-hitter Tucupita Marcano reached on Mancini's throwing
error at first on a grounder, allowing Joe and Davis to score
and close it to 6-3.
In the eighth, Happ doubled to left with one out. After Yan
Gomes struck out, Amaya and Tauchman walked, chasing Angel
Perdomo for Yerry De Los Santos. Madrigal's two-run single to
right made it 8-3.
