Cubs Earn Late Win
With first baseman José Abreu leading the charge, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-6, at Wrigley Field 1979-2005. Abreu, who is tied for 9th in the NL with a .575 slugging percentage, went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Josh Spence, credited with the save, is now 3 for 3 in save opportunities. The last-place Pirates have lost 4 straight games.

Had Billy Hamilton not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Hamilton hit a 2-run single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Cubs.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Abreu said.
