Pirates Flatten Cubs, 9-1
The Pittsburgh Pirates and starting pitcher Bailey Ober stifled the Chicago offense en route to a comfortable 9-1 win at PNC Park. The loss drops Chicago to 17-13.

Tyler O'Neill had a big 3-run home run for the Pirates in the bottom of the first inning. With Pittsburgh leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a splitter from Kevin Gausman, who finished 5th in the AL in ERA with 3.32 in 2021, and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Pirates on top, 4-0.

Afterward, Chicago manager Bryan H said: "We've hit a rough patch."
