Cubs Defeat Pirates, 4-3
In a close game at PNC Park, the Chicago Cubs edged the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3. Chicago first baseman Efrain Vargas stood apart with his performance. He went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The victory gives Chicago a record of 71-58.

The result might have been different for Chicago, had it not been for Brian Gargis, the slick-fielding center fielder . Gargis stroked a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the tenth inning to put Chicago up, 4-3. For the game, he had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Pittsburgh manager Sam Mcg Pittsburgh. "The effort was great."
