Notes & reviews

Scorecard does not show Cubs outs in first; plays figured out from box, but may have been on different batters
Pirate manager Frisch ejected by HP umpire Sears for arguing that Williams ran out of base line when Strincevich made a diving tag attempt; Pirate Lopez, not in game, also ejected by Sears
Failed Suicide squeeze based on scorecard, box, but not sure
