The Pittsburgh Pirates finished off the Chicago Cubs, 8-4. Much of the credit belonged to first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Rizzo went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Pirates. Yonny Chirinos, the winner, improved to 5-5. He held the Cubs to 4 runs on 5 hits over 6.2 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 1. With the win, Pittsburgh upped its record to 37-24.

Early in the game, catcher Brian McCann had a 3-run home run for Pittsburgh. It was his 11th home run of the season and put the Pirates on top, 6-3.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said McCann. "It sure beats the alternative."
