Cubs Snatch Late Win
The rain came, as predicted, but the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates were able to complete their ballgame.

In a tight game between the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitcher Randy Budgell was terrific on the mound. The Chicago right-hander helped his team to the 3-1 win. The winner was Chicago reliever Josh MacQueen, now 2-4. The loser was Antonio Alvarez.

Chicago took a 3-0 lead on Efrain Vargas's 14th home run of the season. The 3-run home run came off Pittsburgh pitcher Antonio Alvarez in the bottom of the eighth.

"Ah, the sweet taste of victory," Vargas crowed after the game.
