Cubs Fall, 8-4, to Waring, Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Chicago Cubs, 8-4, at PNC Park. Pittsburgh left fielder Chris Waring had a superb performance. He was 4-5 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. The Pirates, now 9-2, have had a terrific start to the season.

The Cubs had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Pirates going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the fan favorite Josh Smalls came to the plate. Smalls hit a 2-run home run on a 1-0 fastball from Chicago hurler Jeremy Hamada. It was Smalls's 3rd home run of the year.

Smalls said afterward that he was glad to help his team win.
