Lajoie, Cubs Too Much for Pirates

The winner in relief was Kwang-hyun Kim. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 1-0. Logan Drake collected his 20th save.

Fred Lynn, who finished 5th in the NL in wins above replacement with 5.4 in 2058, aided the Chicago cause with a run-scoring triple in the bottom of the third. For the game, the right fielder went 2 for 4 with a triple and a walk.

"They played a better game than we did," said Pittsburgh skipper .

The 4th-place Cubs raised their record to 35-43.
