Pittsburgh pitcher Joe Monroe had a large part in his team beating the Chicago Cubs, 6-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Gigi Wanyika collected his 1st save. With the win, Pittsburgh has a record of 26-15. Chicago falls to 26-13.

J.D. Balkum had a big 3-run home run for the Pirates in the top of the second inning. With Pittsburgh leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from Dusty Weaver, who is tied for 5th in the NL with a 3.14 ERA, and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 2nd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Pirates ahead, 4-0.

"Joe is tough to beat when he's hitting his spots," said Pittsburgh manager Nick Blank.
