The Chicago Cubs battled back to split the series with the Pittsburgh Pirates as Ian Happ crushed a huge 8th-inning home run to give the Cubs critical insurance runs against Paul Skenes and the Pirates bullpen. Colin Rea was outstanding on the mound, turning in one of his best performances of the season to help Chicago secure a much-needed win. Miguel Amaya had a strong day at the plate, while Alex Bregman continued to provide productive at-bats for the Cubs lineup, and Pete Crow-Armstrong came alive in the 9th inning with an exciting slide into home to add to the Cubs’ momentum. Luke Stuckmeyer, Joey Christopoulos, and Justin Roman break down the biggest moments, key performances, and what this series split means moving forward for the Cubs in the NL Central race on the CHGO Cubs Podcast.
