Pirates Rally Late to Nip Cubs
Chicago got a terrific game from first baseman José Abreu. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Pittsburgh, 8-7. Abreu went 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The win was credited to 32-year old right-handed pitcher Corey Kluber in relief. His record improves to 11-1. DJ Johnson took the loss. The NL Central Division-leading Pirates are 92-70.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Victor Reyes came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Chicago pitcher DJ Johnson, he hit a 1-1 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Pittsburgh on top, 8-7.

"Feels good to get the job done," Reyes said after the game.
