Davis Socks Pirates in 10-4 Cubs Win
Thanks in large part to left fielder Brennen Davis, the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-4. Davis hit 3 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored three times. Nick Bitsko, the winning pitcher, improved to 4-2. He pitched 5.1 innings, giving up 7 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 1 and walking 2. The losing skid has reached 9 games for Pittsburgh.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Charlie Drew to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Cubs ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Drew.
