Thornton Performance to No Avail in 9-7 Pirates Loss
Pittsburgh designated hitter Mike Thornton had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 9-7, to Chicago at PNC Park. Thornton was 3-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Chicago reliever Joe Pate got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Jimmy Vanthournoutingtonle was tagged with the loss. Eric Oakes locked down his 5th save.

Chicago used the clutch hitting of Andy Wasierski to capture the win. The pinch hitter drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 9-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a big one.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Wasierski.

The loss puts Pittsburgh at 15-13.
