For a guy whose team had just lost their second straight game to the Pirates, Cubs manager David Ross was rather insulting, calling the Bucs a bad team and “not a high caliber” team. But the Pirates were winners, while the Cubs have lost 10 of their last 13 games in the struggle to make the playoffs. Joe Block has the recap.
The Pirates move on to Cincinnati where they open a three-game series against another contending team tonight. The Bucs will use an opener against Reds lefty Andrew Abbott.
