Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen said via his X account that an MLB representative told him the baseballs being used this season are different due to higher seams, which are leading to more drag on the baseball (and less travel).

Matthew Boyd pitched six innings of one-hit, one-run ball and Dansby Swanson hit a tiebreaking home run in the Chicago Cubs’ 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.
