The Cubs' ice-cold offense stayed that way in a series-opening loss to the Pirates, a story that has gotten old real quick for fans.

The Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates battle in the second game of their series on Saturday. The Pirates came away with a 3-2 win over the Cubs on Friday, snapping their five-game losing streak.

The Cubs equaled Pham’s home run in the bottom of the fourth. Kyle Tucker singled with one out and advanced to second on a little popup by Seiya Suzuki to short center. Pete Crow-Armstrong followed with a rare walk and Carson Kelly then singled in Tucker [VIDEO].

Behind Imanaga’s strong start and key hits from Suzuki, Tucker, and Hoerner, the Cubs beat the Pirates 3-1 to end their comeback drought.

The Tillamook and Astoria DMVs are closed Friday, leaving a gap in service for a large portion of the northwest Oregon Coast. According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, the Tillamook DMV is closed due to an undisclosed facility issue, making this the second day in a row they have been closed.

Seiya Suzuki hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 on Saturday for a sorely needed victory.

It happened again Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field and the Pirates, who just allowed the Brewers 33 runs in a three-game series, gave the Cubs just two and the homestand began on a down note with a 3-2 loss.
