Rizzo HR reversed in Cub ‘W’
PITTSBURGH — Anthony Rizzo almost led off his third straight game with a homer, losing his bid on a replay reversal, before helping key a sixrun rally in the ninth inning that sent the Chicago Cubs over Pittsburgh, 9-5 on Friday night. Joe Maddon wasn’t around to see the comeback — he was ejected in the first inning after Rizzo’s drive into the Allegheny River was ruled a foul ball.
