Pittsburgh Pirates starter Jeff Francis was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Chicago Cubs, 5-0. The first-place Pirates have won 4 in a row.

Francis's performance can only be described as masterful. He notched 6 strikeouts in 7.2 innings while allowing 4 hits. Francis, who is rated as the 24th best prospect by BNN, goes to 1-0 on the year with 18 strikeouts.

"It's no secret that good defense follows around people who throw strikes," said Pittsburgh manager Chris Pirates.
