Final Thoughts:
A long game tonight. Cubs needed a throwing error by Trevor Williams to take the lead and never relinquished it, even with Kimbrel giving up back-to-back home runs to Bell and Moran. Darvish was outstanding, while Williams was not the same after that error in the Bottom of 3rd Inning.

Pirates and Cubs will play again tomorrow. Mitch Keller will go for Pirates. While Tyler Chatwood will go for the Cubs.
