Pirates Sunk by Cubs
The Chicago Cubs bumped off the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-5, at Wrigley Field. Fidel Mejia hit 2 singles and 1 double. He also had 1 RBI. The save went to Orlando Romero, his 21st this season. The Cubs improved to 56-67.

Dan Williams had a big bases-clearing double for the Cubs in the bottom of the first inning. With Chicago trailing 3-2 and the bases loaded, he got a curveball from Luis Fernández, who is tied for 2nd in the NL with a 9.0 K/9 rate, and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 21st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cubs ahead, 5-3.

"It was a solid team effort," said Mejia after the game.
