Pittsburgh and Chicago duked it out and the Pirates came out victorious.

The Pittsburgh Pirates spoiled a good performance by Chicago first baseman José Abreu, bumping off Chicago, 7-5, at Wrigley Field 1979-2005. Abreu slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The loss makes Chicago 16-12.

Pittsburgh took advantage of an error in the top of the seventh inning. The game was tied, 5-5, when Kyle Tucker hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Pirates in front, 6-5.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Pittsburgh manager John Smith.
