It was a fun time at PNC Park, where the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates tangled.

The Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Chicago Cubs, 15-1, with catcher Robinson Chirinos playing a big role. Chirinos was 3-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Pirates in the win. The Pirates improved to 50-71.

With Pittsburgh leading 3-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Chirinos hit a fastball from Masahiro Tanaka for a 2-run home run. It was his 14th home run of the season and put the Pirates ahead, 5-1.

Chicago manager Garrett Hansford called the blowout loss "ugly."
