Pirates: A man who fell from the 21-foot-high Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park during Wednesday night’s game between the Pirates and Cubs remained in critical condition on Thursday morning. Pittsburgh Public Safety, which includes Pittsburgh Police and EMS, posted on social media Thursday that the “incident is being treated as accidental in nature.” The unidentified man fell onto the warning track in right field just as Pirates star Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run double in the seventh inning to put the Pirates ahead 4-3. Players began waving frantically for medical personnel and pointing to the man. The fan was tended to for approximately five minutes by members of both the Pirates and Cubs training staffs as well as PNC personnel, before being removed from the field on a cart. He was taken to the trauma center at Allegheny General Hospital, where he remained on Thursday. Pirates owner Bob Nutting said the club was “deeply saddened” and “truly heartbroken” over what he called a “terrible accident.” The railing that runs along the Clemente Wall in right field is 35 inches in height, which exceeds the building code requirements of 26 inches, according to Pirates vice president of communications Brian Warecki. McCutchen, a five-time All-Star and franchise icon, said Thursday that the team was “devastated,” adding that they prayed together after the game. Players from both teams could be seen praying and McCutchen held a cross that hung from his neck while the fan was taken off the field. The game was paused for several minutes while the man received medical attention but there was no official stoppage in play. Police said any medical update on the fan will be provided by medical personnel in conjunction with the man’s family.

Yankees: DH Giancarlo Stanton was moved to the 60-day IL as the Yankees claimed OF Bryan De La Cruz off waivers from the the Braves. Stanton, 35, has been sidelined all season by tendinitis in both elbows. The five-time All-Star took batting practice with teammates last week for the first time this season, but the team doesn’t have a timetable for Stanton’s return to its lineup.

Cubs: Dansby Swanson, Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki all took Pirates ace Paul Skenes deep in the fifth inning as the Cubs pulled away for an 8-3 victory on Thursday. Suzuki later added a two-run shot off reliever Kyle Nicolas as Chicago took two of three from the last-place Pirates. Skenes (3-3), fresh off a masterful performance in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers last Friday, labored through his shortest start of the season. The 22-year-old reigning National League Rookie of the Year lasted just five innings. His four walks matched his total on the season coming in and the aggressive Cubs pounced in the fifth to turn a two-run deficit into a 3-2 lead. Swanson led off the fifth with his sixth homer. Tucker added his eighth two batters later and Suzuki put Chicago in front to stay with a shot to the left-field bleachers. Ian Happ, a Pittsburgh native, had three hits. Swanson, Suzuki and Michael Busch had two hits apiece for the Cubs.
