Solomon Jacks Two Home Runs in 6-2 Pittsburgh Win
Due in large part to shortstop Chris Solomon, the Pittsburgh Pirates sunk the Chicago Cubs, 6-2. Solomon was 3-4 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The Pirates are off to a tough start, getting just their 10th win in 25 games.

The Cubs had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Pirates going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 27-year old right fielder Jose Paredes came to the plate. Paredes hit a 3-run home run on a 2-2 changeup from Chicago hurler Kevin Creel. It was Paredes's 3rd home run of the year.

Said Pittsburgh manager Chris S: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."
