 After losing all three games in Philadelphia earlier this week, the Cubs have now failed to win any of their last 12 series on the road -- the franchise's longest in-season streak since also losing 12 straight in 2014. Chicago has a .683 winning percentage at home and .377 on the road, the largest difference by any team in a season since 1996 (Rockies, .679 at home, .346 on road).

 The Pirates took two of three from the Angels earlier this week to end a run of nine consecutive series lost since the All-Star break. Pittsburgh is 2-11 at PNC Park since the break and its 5.21 ERA at home in 2019 currently stands as the second-highest in a season in team history (5.32, 1953).

 Josh Bell is two RBI away from reaching 100 in a season for the first time in his career. Bell has 98 RBI in 120 team games. The only Pittsburgh player to reach 100 RBI in less than 125 games this century was Brian Giles in 2000 (122).

 Nick Castellanos is batting .431 (22-for-51) with 15 RBI over a 12-game hitting streak against Pittsburgh dating back to Aug. 9, 2017. His career .413 average at PNC Park trails only Barry Bonds (.429) as the highest in the venue's history (min. 45 PA).

 Starling Marte went 7-for-14 during the series with the Angels and stole his 20th base of the season Wednesday, making him the first Pirates player with back-to-back 20-homer, 20-steal campaigns since Andrew McCutchen had three straight from 2011-13.

 Kyle Schwarber's .139 average on the road since July 1 is the lowest among qualified MLB hitters. He's recorded just seven hits in 50 at-bats in away games since the All-Star break, though five have been home runs.

HP - Reynolds, 1B - Scheurwater, 2B - Porter, 3B - Wegner

A collapse since the All-Star break has given the Pittsburgh Pirates a new role: spoiler.
It's about all that is left for the last-place club in the National League Central, and the Pirates played the role smartly Friday in the opener of a series against the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park, scoring twice in the bottom of the ninth for a 3-2 win.

Pirates playing spoiler as Cubs struggle on road

PITTSBURGH (AP)  Kris Bryant heard a voice from the crowd just before he homered to put the Chicago Cubs ahead in the seventh inning Saturday.
After committing an error at third base each of the previous two innings, Bryant watched Steven Brault lift his leg. That's when he could just make out what a fan had shouted.
