Pirates vs. Cubs Game Highlights (9/2/24) | MLB Highlights

Cubs back home they have won six in a row coming off an 8 and one road trip offense offense and more offense is fun to watch yeah this is what it looks like on just about the whole lineup gets hot team Ops over that stretch of 927 is incredible we take a look at J Mo 292 ER ra here at Wrigley Field this year lately the work has not been quite as sharp four or more runs out in each of his last four starts into the air right fielder Bellinger weights one up and one down on the ground right at Nico and there's sud down tyone works his motion High leg kick and Pitch Cruz bounces one on the right side fielded on the Outfield grasp by Herer slings to the first baseman Bush for out number three and that's that a one two3 inning for Jameson tyion to begin in the ball game we head to the last of the first see Jared's just the 17 starts he's been quite a while on The iil Swinging a popup into that evening Sky who wants it it's going to be the short stop ala Williams there tonight on the right side of the diamond makes the catch one out there's Alica Williams two outs 3-2 coming strength three call a delayed decision and Suzuki strikes out looking to end the inning we're through one from Chicago something to pay attention to with Jameson Tai and his lower back after the first half inning he went down into the Dugout with trainers after the second inning trainers came up with a back brace heating up his back so looks like they're trying to keep his back loose be Jared triolo to lead it off checks in to tonight's action at 204 with six home runs and a good start as Jared triolo singles maybe off the glove of the diving third basem ESO parades triolo had two hits in three at bats off tyion last Monday including a triple and a single and RBI ground out Lea Williams getting a started short today and that one hit in the air out towards Right Center Pete Crow Armstrong makes the catch fires on the move and they're not able to double the runner off of first PCA with his momentum taking him towards the first Baseline that throw kind of tailed on him a little bit a little frustrated with himself F not sure exactly how to play this one makes it pretty much all the way to second base second and third two out see if ran Reynolds can take advantage of this now the 1-1 a bouncing ball to third backing up Fielding paradus sidearm throw to first this time on target to get Reynolds for out number three and the Pirates leave two in scoring position middle three Parker with us here in the booth how are you buddy I'm good how are you real good um you know you won this and your call was amazing I did not tell you that before I thought it was absolutely amazing yeah um we were just sitting on the couch and uh I was like man that was a nuke so let's and then and then you you see a commercial and me and my dad went out to the garage and recorded it look at this H out let's go H boy Danby swatson will touch them all and it's one nothing a left field Corner Dansby catches this one a little bit off the end of the bat but not totally and hits it in about the second row in straight left field big swing in the bat for the Cubs and Dansby Swanson what was it like playing catch with PCA it's so fun like I've done it before with Palencia uh we're out in the bleachers and it's just like fun to it's to react with a baseball player playing catch it's like a dream come true my's been doing pretty good Le and a swing in a Miss Parker are you familiar with the concept of the broadcaster Jinx you ever heard that no like if a broadcast if we start talking somebody's great great great then they make an out or something like that the opposite happens so welcome you just we're talking about how good am May has been and he just struck out so welcome you join me just joined the club Parker don't listen to him he's trying to say it's your fault and they're two aboard two away and and have to up with two away half bounces that one Fair ball down the line it's going to score two it's going to get into the corner Ian on the Move Racing for third and he's got a two- run triple it's three nothing Ian hap as he's done so often here lately jumping on that first pitch and doing so effectively a little cutter whacked into the right field corner chion has been excellent here and the pitch swing and a miss strike three as tyone gets McCutchen with the fast ball three nothing the Cubs lead one out and a man in scoring position for Jared triolo and here it is Cho towards first and Bush makes a play tyion gets over oh Michael bus gorgeous play a tough hop and a nice rangy play by Bush now Henry Davis popped up foul territory off to the right Jameson tyone makes a run grab halfway between home and first in foul territory for out number three just like that pirates with a threat here in the eighth Pirates have gone 21 consecutive Innings without an extra base hit so they are overdue Fly ball left center field deep toward the wall and clear the deck cannon ball coming Brian Reynolds anchor down Bay ties it with his 22 home run goes opposite field and have to worry about that win took it the left just got it over the wall now that one might have been 370 McCutchen 13 game hitting streak swing fly Ball Deep left field McCutchen gets into this one and there it goes Andrew McCutchen gives the Pirates the lead a 4run eighth inning in Chicago and the Pirates are on top boy just when you think you're done you know you come on the road things aren't going well doing nothing offensively through seven and now four hits four runs two bombs Trio still at second with two gone now and it's up to Nick Gonzalez to knock him in 4-3 Pirates lead in the ninth here's a liner pass psh into right base hit triolo tags third he's coming up to score and the throw goes all the way right rattling around behind home plate and Gonzalez goes from first to second to Third on Bellinger's throwing error RBI hit for Nick Gonzalez 53 pirates in the ninth yeah that's a huge hit right there he's so good at going the other way interesting is right before that pitch they were yelling at Bellinger to move in move in and and he's he moved in about five or six steps as the pitch was being thrown still didn't matter Dennis Santana trying for his fourth career save he's got two this year they were both with the Yankees the Cubs down to their final out and here comes Danby Swanson swing and a miss struck him out and that's the ball game felt like a comfortable lead slip away a tough loss for the Cubs here tonight and Rays the Jolly Roger Dennis Santana
