Pirates Sneak By Cubs, 4-3
The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up a win at PNC Park, knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 4-3. Starting pitcher Felix Bernal played a key role in the triumph. The National League Central Division-leading Pirates have a record of 75-49.

Pittsburgh took a 4-3 lead on David Contreras's 28th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Contreras hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Chicago pitcher Brian Bailes visibly frustrated.

After the game, Pittsburgh manager Sam Mcg Pittsburgh applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
