Cody Bellinger delivers four hits, including a homer, as Cubs surge past Pirates
PITTSBURGH â Cody Bellinger had four hits, including his seventh home run of the season, and the Chicago Cubs surged past the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-2 on Friday night.Bellinger turned on a 100 mph fastball from Jared Jones in the first inning and sent it into the right-field seats for the Cubs. He later added two doubles and an RBI single and is hitting .538 since returning from fractured ribs.Ian Happ and Chris Morel had two hits apiece for the Cubs, who have won four of six.
Jones, who dazzled during seven shutout innings against Colorado last weekend, wasn't quite as crisp this time.
