Final: Pirates 10, Cubs 9.

the Cubs’ 6 bases-loaded walks in the 5th were the most by a team in an inning since the White Sox had 8 in the 7th inning on 4/22/1959 h/t @EliasSports

Kyle Hendricks will start tomorrow for the Cubs. Counsell saying Taillon came out of pregame work okay, but they'd like to give him a couple of extra days.

Tonight, the Cubs had a 7-run inning against the Pirates with only two balls hit out of the infield. One for an out. At one point, the Pirates put 4 straight hitters on without throwing a strike. And the Cubs still lost! This is why it’s great to be a Brewers fan.

Due to the long rain delay and the late ending to this #Cubs game, the recap on BCB will post at 8 a.m. CT Sunday.

Cubs will activate Kyle Hendricks to start tomorrow, Craig Counsell said, instead of him making another rehab start. Said Taillon had a good day throwing off the mound but he’s not quite ready.

Kyle Hendricks will be activated from the IL and start tomorrow for the Cubs. Jameson Taillon came out of today OK but Counsell said they want to give him a couple more days before he makes his next start.

It began as the Paul Skenes show, with 7 strikeouts in 4 innings and 17 pitches over 100-mph, featured six bases-loaded walks by Pirates’ pitchers, 5 home runs by Pirates’ hitters, a 2 hour, 20-minute rain delay, and the Pirates beat the Cubs in a zany one, 10-9.

Pirates 10, Cubs 9 This one went from the Cubs had no business winning folder to the games Cubs gave away folder. There was also a bunch of dumb luck that went the Pirates way too so whatever. Win this series tomorrow.

I'm just watching some Cubs rain delay theater today when this young reporter pops on the screen! What happened to that kid?

The Pirates defeated the Cubs 10-9 in a game that featured Paul Skenes debut and that started 5 hours and 20 minutes ago.

#RaiseIt #Pirates 🏴‍☠️🦜 Paul Skenes Day is saved!

Final: Pirates -- 10 Cubs -- 9 That is a game I will never forget. For many reasons.

That's game. Pirates 10, Cubs 9. Pirates are now 18-22.

Paul Skenes registered 17 pitches over 100 mph in his MLB debut vs the Cubs. Amongst starting pitchers he now ranks 3rd in most pitches thrown at 100+ mph. He only trails Jose Soriano and Hunter Greene who have made 6 and 8 starts respectively.

I’m not saying Pirates-Cubs is dragging. But when it ends, Paul Skenes will have 10/5 rights.
