Cubs 1, Pirates 0: Shōta Imanaga is brilliant again, and a walkoff after a review

Games like this are why I love baseball so much.

Great starting pitching by Shu014dta Imanaga, yet again. The Cubs get some solid relief pitching, for once, and then after hardly generating any offense at all for eight innings, the Cubs walk it off 1-0 on a Christopher Morel RBI single — but not until after a replay review.

Imanaga walked the first hitter of the game, Andrew McCutchen, then retired 11 straight Pirates until an infield single with two out in the fourth. Those 11 straight outs included this slick play by Miles Mastrobuoni [VIDEO].
