Pirates get 1st hit off Cubs' Thielbar in 7th inning after Imanaga departs
CHICAGO (AP) --- Shota Imanaga pitched six dazzling innings for the Chicago
Cubs on Friday before Ryan O'Hearn led off the seventh with a single to right
off Caleb Thielbar for Pittsburgh's first hit of the game.
Imanaga struck out nine and walked one. He threw 100 pitches, 68 for strikes.
O'Hearn greeted Thielbar with a liner to right on a 1-1 slider. Bryan Reynolds
drove Thielbar's next pitch deep to left for his third homer, lifting the
Pirates to a 2-0 lead on a chilly afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Pittsburgh got its first baserunner when Oneil Cruz walked with two down in the
second. Imanaga then fanned rookie Konnor Griffin for the final out of the
inning.
The 32-year-old Imanaga went 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in his first two starts of the
season.
