Pirates Lose to Cubs, 7-4
The Chicago Cubs knocked off the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-4, at PNC Park. Stephen Piscotty, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Chicago won. The right fielder was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Tony Cingrani notched his 27th save in 32 chances. With the win over Pittsburgh, the Cubs improved to 61-98.

With Chicago leading 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Piscotty hit a fastball from Martin Perez for a 2-run home run. It was his 20th home run of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 3-0.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Piscotty said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
