PITTSBURGH – Smacking his second home run of the night, Chicago Cubs left fielder Joc Pederson lined a game-tying two-run blast out to right-center on Tuesday. The 401-footer at PNC Park evened up the Pittsburgh Pirates at three runs apiece.
Pederson swatted a 368-foot solo shot earlier in the contest, and his fifth-inning blast gave the Cubs their first lead of the evening. Cody Ponce was taken deep on an 83.5-mph cutter not long after giving up a single to fellow starting pitcher Jake Arrieta. The jack, which plated Arrieta, left the yard at 102.3 mph and 24 degrees. Another home run for @yungjoc650, who clearly saw everyone disrespecting his mustache on here earlier.#CubTogether pic.twitter.com/9UXBUFMdmU #Cubs 3 @ #Pirates 3 [T5-1o]: 16th career 2-homer game for @yungjoc650!#CubTogether pic.twitter.com/Wda5t6Fyj1
