Cubs Best Pirates in Pitching Duel
In a well-pitched game between the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitcher Chris Perretta was fantastic. The Chicago right-hander helped his team secure the win, 2-0. Perretta, the winner, moves to 7-3. He threw 6.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 7 and giving up 5 walks. The save was credited to George Poirier, his 28th.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Mike Alexander didn't flinch. With a runner on 1st and Pittsburgh trailing 1-0, Alexander retired Marvin McAleer to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Alexander, with a wink.

The win gives Chicago a season record of 79-74.
