Pirates Lose, 8-2, at Wrigley Field
The Chicago Cubs topped the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 8-2, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Justin Upton. Upton was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Cubs. The Pirates fall to 3-7 and continue their uneasy start to the 2018 season.

The Cubs got a big at-bat from right fielder Stephen Piscotty. For the game, Piscotty was 1 for 1 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the second, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave Chicago a 3-1 lead.

"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Upton.
