It was a rainy night in Pittsburgh, and the rain also continues to fall on the season for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as they lost their fifth straight contest, falling 4-1 to the Chicago Cubs after former Bucs pitcher Trevor Williams of course took it to his old squad by pitching a gem.
Williams went six innings, giving up one run on three hits while striking out seven and walking none. He gave up just a triple in the first to Ben Gamel on a botched play by Joc Pederson through the first five innings, and didn’t surrender anything else until Erick Gomez knocked in Kevin Newman with a single in the sixth.
