One of baseball's best run-scoring teams, the Cubs won three out of four this weekend, doing so while scoring only nine runs in the series.

Live coverage of the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs MLB game on ESPN, including live score, highlights and updated stats.

Cubs starter Shota Imanaga is ready for the next step in the rehab process. After pitching at the Cubs spring complex in Az. on Saturday, he'll head out to Triple-A Iowa for a start this coming Friday.

Boyd, who lowered his ERA to 2.79 with a great performance in Saturday’s win, caught Pirates outfielder Tommy Pham off first for the left-hander’s league-leading sixth pickoff of the season, erasing a walk that stood as the only base-runner Boyd allowed after a first-inning home run.

The Chicago Cubs are on top of the NL Central with a depleted rotation. The quiet consistency of Matthew Boyd is a major reason for their success. Boyd has pitched at least six innings and allowed three earned runs or fewer in 10 of his 14 starts with his new team.

The Chicago Cubs have had a pretty charmed 2025 so far. They’re in first place atop the NL Central Division. They possess one of the most potent and versatile offenses in the game.
