Summary
The Cubs crushed the Pirates 12-2, snapping a four-game skid with a defensive spark and offensive explosion. A key play by catcher Carson Kelly steadied pitcher Shota Imanaga, who then watched as the offense erupted — Kelly’s two-run double in the second, followed by Alex Bregman’s towering two-run homer in the fifth. Bregman’s hot streak continued, finishing 3-for-4 with his 30th double of the year. The win signals renewed confidence in the lineup’s potential. Updates: Dansby Swanson could return as early as Friday; Ian Happ’s toe issue is minor. Pitchers Cabrera, Miller, and Steele are rehabbing; reliever Phil Maton had knee surgery.
