Almora/Happ/Bryant up in the 9th. If two get on, Contreras comes up as the tying run.

Almora hits it hard to LF, but Dickerson catches it.

The Pirates 1-8 hitters are all over .800 ops except the guy who got the 3 run home that is the difference in this game. Small sample size and all that but their offense has been what we hoped the Cubs would be.

Bryant robbed on a lineout to Mercer, then Zobrist pops out. Contreras left on deck.

Lester gives up a 3-run HR to Rodriguez in the 2nd.  The Cub offense hasn't been good enough to overcome starts like this.

Lester needs to stop grooving fastballs down the middle.

Starting to look like a game I was at last July right before the All Star break.

Lester looks something akin to shot.

Luckily, he has a potent offense to dig him out of trouble...

Pirate hitters are fouling away pitch after pitch, forcing Lester to walk them or give them hittable pitches.  Very impressive.

Be more impressive if Lester could hit 90 mph.

Bases loaded, nobody out for the Cubs in the 2nd.  Baez up.
