The Chicago Cubs’ (19-12) hot streak was due to come to an end and it did in spectacular fashion Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates (10-21), resulting in a split of the editor-induced doubleheader. Pittsburgh jumped all over Kyle Hendricks early and never looked back, cruising to an easy win at Wrigley, via MLB The Show 20.
Adam Frazier doubled, Josh Bell tripled, and Jose Osuna singled to put the road team ahead 3-0 after the 1st. Things didn’t get much better for the Cubs in the 2nd as Frazier and Bryan Reynolds knocked in two more runs.
