The Chicago Cubs grabbed a win, 9-8, over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. Chicago shortstop Yasuhide Kasahara was 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 4. Eric Oakes notched his 25th save in 28 chances. Chicago, at 66-45, is 7 games up in the National League Central Division.

The game was all tied up in the top of the tenth, until Kasahara delivered big-time for Chicago, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Steve Grier. The game-changing hit put the Cubs on top, 9-8.

"We maximized our offense today," said Chicago skipper Mergatroid Skittle. "That makes everyone's life easier."
