Pirates Drop Cubs, 5-3
The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up a win at Wrigley Field, knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 5-3. Starting pitcher Chris Reitsma played a key role in the triumph. The save went to Mike Megrew, number 6 for him. Today's win puts Pittsburgh at 72-82, while Chicago falls to 78-75.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Lonnie Chisenhall to capture the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates on top, 5-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but he made it count.

"Chris knows how to get ahead of hitters, stay ahead of hitters, and put people out," said Pittsburgh manager Robby Thompson.
