Cubs Edge Pittsburgh in Pitching Duel
The Chicago Cubs got a magnificent effort from pitcher Noel Richards, who kept Pittsburgh hitters in check en route to a 1-0 Cubs win at Wrigley Field. Orlando Romero nailed down his 16th save. The Cubs win now puts them at 31-38.

Kevin Wilson, who finished 5th in the NL in hits with 173 in 2023, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two out and a runner on 2nd, the Chicago catcher hit a run-scoring single. That put the Cubs in front, 1-0.

Wilson said his team "played with determination."
