Cubs Best Pirates in Pitching Duel
The Chicago Cubs had to overcome a good performance from Pittsburgh pitcher Clarence Wall to claim a 1-0 win at Wrigley Field. Wall went 6.1 innings and allowed 1 run. Keury Mella picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed no runs on 7 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 3-1. Orlando Romero picked up the save, his 7th.

In the bottom of the fourth, Chicago third baseman Kevin Wilson had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 3rd and one out, Wilson stroked a run-scoring single to right-center. It made the score 1-0, Chicago. For the game, he went 2 for 4 with 2 singles.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Pittsburgh manager Jose Mijares.

The Pirates drop to 16-16 and continue their mediocre start to the 2023 season.
