Pirates Come Back Late to Clip Cubs
Pittsburgh Pirates starter Jonathan Loaisiga turned in a top-notch performance against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The result was a win for the Pirates, 3-2. Ryan Pressly picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 5-2. Tony Cingrani was tagged with the loss. Seranthony Dominguez notched his 18th save in 20 chances.

It could have been a different outcome for Pittsburgh, had it not been for Byron Buxton, the slick-fielding center fielder . Buxton contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Pittsburgh up, 3-2.

"That's the key at this level, throwing strike one," said Loaisiga. "Successful pitchers do it."

The third-place Pirates raised their record to 63-86.
