6-4 Loss Extends Chicago Losing Streak
Pittsburgh starter Duane Cooper pitched well against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The right-hander led his team to a win, 6-4. Cooper, the winner, moves to 3-1. He threw 5 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 1 and giving up 4 walks. Joe Kaiser converted his 23rd save in 34 tries.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Chris Riley? The Pittsburgh second baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Pirates on top, 4-0. For the game, Riley had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We're in a little bit of a dry spell," said Chicago manager Warren Schaeffer.

The slumping Cubs have lost 6 straight.
