Cubs Come Up Short at Pittsburgh, 3-2
The Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates provided some drama for the home crowd.

The Pittsburgh Pirates locked up a win at PNC Park, knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 3-2. On the mound for Pittsburgh was right-hander Ian Craft. He played a major role in the triumph. Jack Carey closed it out for Pittsburgh, earning his 28th save.

Pittsburgh took a 3-2 lead on Ethan Holliday's 11th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Holliday hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher James Karinchak visibly frustrated.

Craft said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.

The victory puts Pittsburgh at 54-79.
