Cubs Earn Win with Late Rally
The Chicago Cubs took Pittsburgh pitcher Marcus Stroman's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Wrigley Field 1979-2005. The final score had Chicago getting past the Pirates, 4-3. Stroman went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 4. Chicago reliever Tyler Thornburg was the winner. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Robbie Erlin. Reyes Moronta earned his 22nd save, after closing out the game.

Had José Abreu not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Abreu hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Cubs.

"We did enough to win," said Abreu.

The Cubs now have a mark of 56-38.
