Cubs Shut Out Pirates In Series Rubber Match

With one out in the seventh, Musgrove (1-1) got Jason Heyward to pop up to shallow left field, but Erik Gonzalez and Jung-Ho Kang collided and the ball bounced out of Gonzalez’s glove. Daniel Descalso blooped a single to left in the next at-bat to drive in the first run of the game.

Victor Caratini doubled home Descalso off Francisco Liriano later in the inning.

Musgrove finished with two runs allowed- both unearned- on five hits in 6.1 innings. He struck out a half dozen and walked a pair.
