The Cubs defeated the Pirates 5-3 Thursday afternoon in Pittsburgh, sweeping the three-game series and winning their 10th in their last 13 tries.
And yet, I know all you want to talk about is the incredible baserunning play Javier Baez pulled off in the top of the third inning. It’s 1-0 Cubs at this point, with two out and Willson Contreras on second base.
There is SO much going on there — Pirates first baseman Will Craig with a complete brain fart, apparently forgetting he could have recorded the out by just touching first base.
