>> that's hard to get on top of, even if you're right-handed, let alone left-handed. rizzo won't give in. he won't fail. he'll get a tough at-bat. >> just missed the corner. just off the plate. anthony rizzo has faced felipe rivero five times the season. hei is without a hitch when lind up against the hard throwing lefty. big swing and a miss and rizzo is behind 1-2. >> it's a hard pitch to hit up in the zone. you c

under it. the 1-2. rizzo deflected by 1 rivero. right to mercer who retires the side. he stayed with the fastball, rizzo was ready for it, but the cubs excuse me, t the pirates cn convert, and and two runnere left stranded aswo we go to the ninth with it still a two-run game.

major league baseball all-star game at 7:30 eastern right here on fox. still a 4-2 lead for the pirates, there are three rents extending holding, that's the inning in which they knocked out jake arrieta and the bucks bullpen has been magnificentha since. the cubs go to their bullpenif e more time for the veteran right-hander. here in the ninth, he'll get jose osuna up making his first plate appearance of the game. >> he's got a lot of fans.

a ball and two strikes is the count. they failed to come back in this one, their springsteen lyrics fees and have one step up, two steps back will continue, or something like tha that. we talk about it when we went on the air and just when it appears that the momentum is starting to swing and they're going to get started on a big tying run, brian hits two home runs yesterday, jake arrieta coming off a start of the year on sunday. and there's a night like this. >> they need the break. there are certain teams that don't need the break. we'll see what the big difference has been. toen me it's an era that doesn't show the

the starters era has been the biggest contributor to that. it could come at a good time for a lot of guys who need to reset and get some time off. you're talking what a team that, since the world series, if there's one thing that has been difficult it's all the time occupied by all the fields distractions and requests. all the different things that come with success. certainly everybody wants your time. we talked to brian about that. about how, as a young player, do you manage your time. he said it's certainly something he's getting used to. once the break comes it will be so focused in the second half on their task of chasing down the milwaukee brewers. >> fans can take solace in the spread over the last two seasons combined, no team in baseball

than the chicago cubs. >> the other thing is their schedule, i know it doesn't always work this way, but the majority of the teams they'll be playing currently are under .500 in the second half. >> if you buy into that strength of schedule in baseball, this isn't the nfl. >> the reason i buy into it is historically at this point, you are what you are and you would think some of those teams make it a little later if they moved. >> i sing in a mess and thereto away. >> what typically would be the beginning of the season, a team like the tigers, they may look totally different in the second half, or some of the national league teams may look totally different and when you play them is huge. but i still think there's something to be said when you talk about 50 out of 74 games. that should give you a decided advantage. >> forid

right. i think those teams can be scar scary. 1-2-3 inning. last chance for the cubs at home. we go to the bottom of the ninth, still 4-2, pittsburgh.

>> 4-2 pirates. joe maddon down to his last three outs at home here tonight. we talked about how his cubs have had success post all-star break. 100 winzip combined. that's the best second half record in baseball the last couple of years. the kind of turnaround they'll be looking for. believe it rivero came on and through a couple of 101-mile pitches to strand two base runners the bottom of the

>> that first pitch that he swung at, that's for the game has changed. ninth inning, need a runner on. maybe the guy on the mound can work himself in trouble swinging the ball off. said it would be 3-0 and it's 2-1. those of the kind of things, the little things, that you've got to pay attention to especially in the ninth trying to get the tying run at the plate. >> i know you like his changeup but have we seen him throw one yet? >> he has. it's still 10 miles off, believe it or not. >> behind 2-1 underground ball. mercer hasnd got it. when away.

nationals had, what they got. now with the parents have is a pretty good arm. nationals were blitzed at home today losing to the braves 13-0. st. louis is a 4-1 winner at home against the mets. brewers lost to new york. it 0-2 now to kyle schwarber. home run, walk, and a signal for shorter tonight. tomorrow the first half and

allie, jon lester for the cops, jameson taillon for pittsburgh. an era south of three, one of the great stories in baseball this year,n missing five weeks after undergoing testicular cancer surgery,cu came back a lt sooner than some expected and came back as sharp as ever. schwaber continues to battle obehind, 0-2.

and a swing and a ss care of him. >> pretty good slider there. off the plate. not feeling really comfortable in the role. the pitch he could not stay off of. >> willson contreras now, who is hitless tonight started playing with a modest six-game hitting streak involves behind 0-1. we talked about how the cubs have gone back and forth from slightly

under .500, and a loss today will put them back under that mark. the amazing note is that no defending world series champ has gotten this far in a season under .500 and advanced to the postseason the following year. that's the kind of history they're up against. of course, if there's a team that has proven that it's unafraid of history, it's what this vintage cubs team has been able to do. the fly ball to the opposite field. blanco makes the play to lap to mike wrap up business tonight. the three were on top of the sixth inning as the pirates are able to beat jak a

them fits for years. pittsburgh has defeated areata into tricep are this year and it just about three hours they are able to even up the series with win here tonight. >> pretty much going to be open season on the second half to see hwho emerges and who makes the necessary changes. parents are not out of it. >> josh bell with a big day, his impressive rookie first half continues. thanks for watching tonight. 4-2, pirates. we'll take you out to l.a. after a quick timeout.

right now they needed a great start tonight and he gave that. >> he was a little inconsistent so check this out. all but one of us starts he's gone six innings. he is going for a hundred pitch is three times or he's done it with consistency. >> it looks effortless. it looks like it's effortless. like he could go out there and throw it 100 or 200 pitches. >> they can never build any momentum back below .500. maybe it's a good thing the only one of their players or closers are going to the all-star game. >> there is no panic in that locker room right now. he says hey, we have what we need in the locker room. as soon as they have a couple of meetings, maybe get away from each other a little bit, no panic at all. joe maddon is your manager, shall be pulling the right strings and last but not least, being in the nl central definitely helps your chances of getting c to the playoffs. >> no panic in the clubhouse but

chicago. we'll see how that turns out. big play earlier today in new york. you got to see this, this is something else. the rookie, clint frazier comes to the plate with the yankees on 3-2 against the brewers closer and bam ! >> red thunder, baby. first home or at yankee stadium, a walk office something never forget. that is a nice little win for the yankees. that was the big one. don't miss the 88th mlb all-star game to state live from miami right here on vox. coverage begins at 7:30 eastern. we will see you then. so long. >> thanks for sticking around.
