The Chicago Cubs didn’t have much going on offensively against Pittsburgh Pirates starter Ivan Nova on Saturday night, until a costly two-out walk led to Jake Arrieta’s first home run of the season.
Kyle Schwarber drew the walk ahead of Arrieta in the fourth inning and on a 2-2 pitch the Cubs pitcher crushed a game-tying home run to left.
