Pittsburgh Pirates starter Sam Richardson was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Chicago Cubs, 4-1. Josh Ambrose converted his 4th save in 5 tries. The National League Central Division-leading Pirates are 76-49.

Jordan de Jesus had a big run-scoring triple for the Pirates in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Pittsburgh leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he got a knuckleball from Edwin Rivera and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 8th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Pirates ahead, 3-1.

"We're a talented bunch when we're playing well," said de Jesus. "I think we showed that here."
