Starting pitcher Josh Markham pitched well enough to help the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs, 7-4. Markham went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 7. His record improves to 15-7. Pittsburgh improves to 95-61 with the win. They lead their division by 19½ games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Brad Pepin? The Pittsburgh right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Pirates on top, 3-2. For the game, Pepin had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"The hot tub feels extra good after a solid win," said Markham.
