Cubs Drop Pirates with Late Score
The Chicago Cubs overcame a good performance by Pittsburgh shortstop Jason Kipnis to knock off Pittsburgh, 8-7, at PNC Park. Kipnis was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Chicago reliever Zach McAllister picked up the win, upping his record to 4-0. Taylor Rogers was saddled with the loss. Chicago is now 51-73, while Pittsburgh is 51-72.

Chicago relied on the bat of Willson Contreras to get the win. The first baseman ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 8-7. For the game, Contreras had 1 double and 1 home run in 2 at-bats.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Pittsburgh manager Corey Wehr. "But we decided not to take it."
