Pittsburgh starter Luis Fernández pitched well against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The right-hander led his team to a win, 6-4. In 5.1 innings, Fernández surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. Pittsburgh is now 86-64, 2 games up in the National League Central Division.

The Pirates got a big at-bat from left fielder Mauro Rodríguez. For the game, Rodríguez went 1 for 5 with a double. In the top of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 29th double of the season gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead.

"For the most part, I felt like I did a pretty good job with executing the pitches I was throwing," said Fernández.
