Chicago Decked by Harper, Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Chicago Cubs, 10-3, in part because of center fielder Bryce Harper. Harper hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Pirates. Pittsburgh is now 56-38.

With Pittsburgh leading 5-0 in the top of the third, Harper came up to bat against Chicago pitcher Ervin Santana. Harper hit a fastball to right-center for a 3-run home run. His 13th home run of the season put the Pirates on top, 8-0.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Pittsburgh manager John Smith.
