Rizzo Leads Pirates to 13-7 Win Over Cubs
Anthony Rizzo left his imprint on the 13-7 Pittsburgh win against the Chicago Cubs. Rizzo, who is tied for 2nd in the NL in runs scored with 72, went 3-3 with 3 doubles and 3 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Luiz Gohara got credit for the win, improving to 7-3. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits in 5.1 innings. The Pirates bumped their record to 57-38 with this win.

Pittsburgh used a well-timed hit by Joey Votto to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 8-4. Though it was his only hit in 6 at-bats, it was important.

"We've got a great group of guys," Votto said, "and we're having fun right now."
