					| Cubs Eke Out 3-2 Win Versus Pittsburgh |  
					| The Chicago Cubs had to overcome a good performance from Pittsburgh pitcher Josh Markham to claim a 3-2 win at PNC Park. Markham went 5.2 innings and allowed 3 runs. George Poirier got the save, the 4th for him this season. With the win, Chicago pushed its record to 18-16. 
 Yasuhide Kasahara, who finished 2nd in the NL in extra base hits with 88 in 2045, aided the Chicago cause with a run-scoring  triple in the top of the third. For the game, the shortstop was 1 for 3 with a triple and a walk.
 
 "We found a way to get it done," Kasahara said.
