Dansby Swanson #7 of the Chicago Cubs reacts after his RBI single in the sixth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field on June 14, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. Dansby Swanson started Chicago’s six-run sixth inning with a hit, then capped the rally with an RBI single as theSwanson finished with three hits and two RBIs to help Chicago knock off Pittsburgh, still in first in the weak NL Central, for the second straight night.
Mike Tauchman had three hits, two RBIs and made a running catch against the ivy on Carlos Santana’s sac fly in the seventh. Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki each drove in two runs in the Cubs’ fourth win in five games. "Some luck went our way I feel in that innings, but I think it’s just a testament to the kind of at-bats we’ve been able to put together recently," Swanson said. "Balls are starting to find holes."
Pittsburgh’s Osvaldo Bido started in his major league debut. The rangy 27-year-old right-hander allowed one run on four hits, while striking out six through four innings. "We don’t talk about negotiations outside the four walls," Hoyer said. "We talk to the agent. We talk to the player. In this particular case, he tweeted out. That changes the dynamic, but that doesn’t change our stance on it, which is we’re just not going to comment."
