Holy cow! Cubs beat the Pirates 7-2 at PNC Park. Jason Hammel got the win (5 IP, 3 K, 2 ER) and "Grandpa" David Ross & Ben Zobrist each knocked in 2 RBI.
Dexter "You Go, We Go" Fowler reached base in 3 of 5 plate appearances, raising his MLB-best OBP to .476, while the bullpen was nails: Warren, Grimm, Strop, and Wood combined for 0 ER, 6 K, 2 BB, and 2 H over 4 IP.
The first place Cubs face the Bucs in game two of the three-game series Tuesday night in Pittsburgh, when April's NL Player of the Month, Jake Arrieta, squares off against Jonathan Niese.
Let's go!
