The Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Chicago Cubs 2–1 in 10 innings on Friday, with all three runs in the game coming on outs. Isiah Kiner-Falefa provided the decisive blow, lifting a sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th that plated the automatic runner and put Pittsburgh ahead for good. Chicago had forced extras in the eighth when Dansby Swanson’s fielder’s-choice groundout erased a 1–0 deficit, but the Cubs failed to score again despite placing the tying run aboard in the bottom of the 10th. Rookie right-hander Cade Horton gave the Cubs 5⅔ scoreless innings, scattering three hits, while the Pirates’ bullpen recorded the final nine outs to secure the victory.
