Chicago Hands Pittsburgh 6-5 Defeat
The Chicago Cubs did just enough to sneak past the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-5, at PNC Park. Chicago pitcher Unkei Wakamatsu, in particular, had a standout performance. Wakamatsu went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 10. His record improves to 18-6. George Poirier finished to wrap up his 30th save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Andy Arbuckle? The Chicago catcher had a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put the Cubs on top, 2-0. For the game, Arbuckle had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Arbuckle.

The first-place Cubs, at 83-65, now lead their division by 4½ games.
