Chicago Cubs defeated Pittsburgh Pirates 5–3. Chicago Cubs opened the scoring in the 1st — Kris Bryant homers (11) on a fly ball to center field. The game's biggest swing came in the 8th: Erik Gonzalez grounds into a force out, shortstop Javier Baez to second baseman Eric Sogard. Gregory Polanco out at 2nd — worth 20% in win probability.

Notes & reviews
- Throw to 1st was off-line and Baez retreated to home as 1bman chased him; at last moment 1bman flipped ball to catcher but runner from 2nd beat throw to score; Baez then ran to 1st where no one was covering and catcher's throw was wild, allowing Baez to reach 2nd
- Originally scored as error, changed to single on 06-02-2021
- Cubs challenged call that Craig was safe at 1st; call upheld - safe on error
