Cubs vs. Pirates Game Highlights | 9/3/24

Cubs back home. They have won six in a row coming off an eight 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. Team ops over that stretch of 927 is incredible. We take a look at uh Jo 292 a here at Wrigley Field this year lately. The work has not been quite as sharp four or more runs allowed in each of his last four starts. Right fielder Bellinger waiting one up and one down. Yes, on the ground right at Mio works his motion high leg kick and pitch. Cruz bounces one on the right side fielded on the outfield grass by Horner Slings for the first baseman Busch for out number three. And that's that a 123 inning for Jamison Ty to begin the ballgame. We head to the last of the first Jared just the 17 starts quite a while on the il swing and a pop up into that evening sky. Who wants it? It's going to be the shortstop Alika Williams there tonight on the right side of the diamond makes the catch one out. There's Alika Williams, no two outs, 32 coming strength three call, a delayed decision and Suzuki strikes out looking to end the inning. We're through one from Chicago to pay attention to with Jon on 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 it looks like they're trying to keep his back losing Triolo to lead off checks into tonight's action at 24 with six home runs and a good start as Jared Triolo singles maybe off the glove of the diving third baseman Isak Peredes. Triolo had two hits in three at bats off Taone last Monday including a triple in a single an RBI I ground out Williams getting started short today and that one hit in the air out towards right center. Pearl Armstrong makes the catch fires on the move and not able to double the runner off a first with his momentum, taking him towards the first baseline that kind of tailed on him a little bit, a little frustrated with himself. Not sure exactly how to play. This one makes it pretty much all the way to second base, second and third two outs. See if ryan reynolds can take advantage of this. Now, the 1 to 1, a bouncing ball to third, backing up fielding Pertus 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? You know, you won this and your call was amazing. I did not tell you that before. I thought I was absolutely amazed. 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 we recorded it. Look at this boy Dansby swats. It will touch them all. And it's one, the 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 and straight, left field, big swing of the bat for the Cubs and Dansby Swanson , what was it like playing catch with PC A It's so fun. Like I've done it before Valencia. We're out in the bleachers and it's just like fun to react with a baseball player and playing catch. It's like a dream come true. My has been doing pretty good and a swing and a Miss Parker. Are you familiar with the concept of the broadcaster, Jinx? You ever heard that? Like, if a broadcaster, 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 Amaya has been and he just struck out. So welcome you join me. Just join the club parker. Don't listen to him. He's trying to say it's your fault. And there are two aboard. Two away and I have two up with two away. That one down the line. It's going to score two. It's going to get into the corner, Ian out on the move racing for third and he's got a two run triple. It's three nothing Ian half 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. Jon has been excellent here and the pitch swing and a miss strike three as Taone gets mccutcheon with the fastball three to the Cubs lead one out and a man in scoring position for Jared Triolo and here it is first and Busch makes a play. Tao gets over Michael Busch. Gorgeous play a tough hop and a nice rangy play by Bush. Henry Davis popped up foul territory off to the right. Jamison Tao makes a running grab halfway between home and first in foul territory for out number three, just like that. Pirates with the 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 to the wall and can in Brian reynolds anchor down, Bray ties it with his 22nd home run. He goes opposite field. Don't have to worry about that win. Took it to left, just got it over the wall. Now, that one might have been three 70 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 four run eighth inning in Chicago and the Pirates are on top 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. Triolo still at second with two gone now and it's up to Nick Gonzalez to knock him in 43 Pirates lead in the ninth. Here's a liner pass, Bush into right base hit Triolo tags third. He's coming up to score and the throw goes all the way rattling around behind home plate and Gonzalez goes from first to second to third on Bellinger throwing error RB. I hit for nick Gonzalez 53 Pirates in the ninth. 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 , 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 Dan Swanson swing and a miss struck him out and that's the ball game. The lead slip away. A tough loss for the Cubs here tonight and raise the Jolly Roger Dennis Santana, 123 picks up his first pirate save fourth of his career bucks come back and deal the cubs that gut punch we talked about. Yeah, this is a definitely a little revenge game for what went on in our place to, to ###### this one away.
