Win Makes Chicago 13-8
The Chicago Cubs topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-5, in National League action at Wrigley Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Chicago shortstop Yasuhide Kasahara. Rich Ortega earned the save for Chicago, his 1st of the year. Chicago, now 13-8, has gotten their season off to a good start.

With Chicago leading 5-4 in the bottom of the third, Kasahara hit a 2-run single off Pittsburgh hurler Phil Sell. It was the 31st hit of the season for Kasahara and put his team ahead, 7-4.

"I just try to go out and give it 100 percent every game," Kasahara told a local reporter after the game. "That's my mantra, and like today, it will pay off more often than not."
