CHICAGO — As the sun finally came out in Chicago, netting a picture-perfect day that featured inarguably the best weather the Pirates have experienced thus far, their on-field game resembled a gray, dreary day in February.
Or, more realistically, a massive blizzard causing widespread power outages, as the Pirates slipped and stumbled their way to the most lopsided loss in franchise history.
The Cubs pummeled the Pirates, 21-0, at Wrigley Field. Thank goodness Chicago didn’t go for two. While Derek Shelton’s club totaled three hits on the afternoon, five Cubs had at least that many.
