Cubs Fall to Pirates, 5-4
|
The Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Chicago Cubs, 5-4, in National League action at Wrigley Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Pittsburgh pitcher Edward Kuppler. In 8 innings, Kuppler surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 1. He allowed 3 runs. Juan Carrillo, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 17th save.
Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Trevor Matheson to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 5-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.
"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Matheson told a Pittsburgh News reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
Pittsburgh is now 49-98.
