Bucco's win opener and tie for first place!
Well they did it, off a huge grandslam by Neil Walker in the 5th inning and a follow up 2 run homer in the 7th by Andrew McCutchen to take home victory by a 6-3 margin. The Pirates only generated 7 hits off their 32 at bats but in those 7 hits drew in the 6 runs.
Correia threw 92 pitches with 61 of them being strikes, he only struck out 3 batters but limited the Cubs to 3 runs in the game, he pitched into the 6th inning until being replaced by Garret Olson. The Pirates have now won their season opener for the fifth year in a row after beating the Cubs today. They'll face the Cubs again tomorrow at 1:05pm at Wrigley.
Way to go Bucs!
