CONFIRMED! Christopher Morel hits RBI single in the 9th to give Cubs a 1-0 win over Pirates

Christopher Morel singled in Cody Bellinger with one out in the ninth to give the Chicago Cubs a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Bellinger got the winning rally started with a ground-rule double down the left-field line with one out off David Bednar. Morel then cracked a 3-2 pitch up the middle, and Bellinger narrowly beat Michael A. Taylor's throw to the plate on a play that withstood a video review. “I knew it was close,” said Bellinger, who slid in and just avoided Joey Bart's tag.
