Bryant gave the Cubs an early lead with a three-run homer in the first. The Cubs rallied for five runs in the bottom of the third inning to lead 8-5. The rally started with Bryant’s second homer of the game and ended when reliever Michael Feliz threw wildly on an appeal play at third base.
Trevor Williams (7-7) allowed seven runs in 2 1/3 innings. Pablo Reyes drove in three runs for the Pirates.
The Bucs are off today and get ready for the Mariners at PNC Park Tuesday night .
