PITTSBURGH PIRATES AT CHICAGO CUBS
GAME ID: 5596 - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST , 2023 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Pittsburgh Pirates (57-77) 4 2 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 9 16 0
Chicago Cubs (54-83) 1 0 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 8 11 1
Pirates Sneak Past Cubs, 9-8
Both teams had their chances, but the Pittsburgh Pirates eventually prevailed.

The 9-8 Pittsburgh win over Chicago was due largely to Bryan Reynolds. The Pirates left fielder went 4 for 4 with 4 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. Carmen Mlodzinski earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record is now 3-4.

The result might have been different, had it not been for Oneil Cruz, the Pittsburgh shortstop. Cruz had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 9-8. For the game, Cruz had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said Cruz.

The Cubs, now 54-83, have lost 5 in a row.
