Jordan Helps Pittsburgh Outscore Chicago
Pittsburgh and Chicago engaged in a slugfest.

Good production from right fielder Steve Jordan helped the Pittsburgh Pirates topple the Chicago Cubs, 14-11. Jordan was 4-6 with a home run, a triple, and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Pirates. The win elevated the Pirates to 69-63.

Pittsburgh used the clutch hitting of David Contreras to snag the win. The second baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates ahead, 12-11. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Contreras said.
