Pirates Beat Chicago, 4-3
The Pittsburgh Pirates did just enough to secure a victory over the Chicago Cubs, 4-3, at Wrigley Field. Nobody did more than pitcher Tyler Mahle. The win puts the Pirates at 68-69, while the Cubs drop to 76-62.

Pittsburgh used a timely hit from Ji-hwan Bae to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

Mahle told a Pittsburgh Chronicle reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
