Shota Imanaga continues hot start as Cubs win in dramatic fashion


Christopher Morel hit a walk-off single to score Cody Bellinger from second base in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Chicago Cubs beat the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 on Saturday afternoon.

Bellinger hit a ground-rule double with one out against David Bednar (2-3) and slid home safely ahead of the tag by catcher Joey Bart on Morel’s single to center field. The call was confirmed after review.

Bellinger had two hits for Chicago, which had lost the first two games of the four-game series. Hector Neris (4-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.
