7-5 Loss Extends Pittsburgh Losing Streak
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Chicago Cubs had to overcome a big game from Pittsburgh designated hitter Raul Mendoza to leave PNC Park with a victory. And they did, winning 7-5. Mendoza was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The save went to George Poirier, number 26 for him.

Elijah Campbell provided a timely hit. The Chicago third baseman delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cubs on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"There were things that we could've improved upon," said Cubs manager Mergatroid Skittle, "but all in all, I'm satisfied with our performance."

The first-place Cubs have won 4 consecutive games.
