Pirates Hammered by Rizzuto, Drop Game 3 to Cubs
Riding the 4-hit performance of shortstop Phil Rizzuto, the Chicago Cubs got a road win against the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-5, in Game 3 of the Divisional Series today. Rizzuto went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Cubs, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 1.

Chicago used the bat of Gleyber Torres to get the win. The designated hitter hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 9-5. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We maximized our offense today," said Chicago skipper Matt Ida. "That makes everyone's life easier."

Game 4 is set to be played tomorrow in Pittsburgh. Slated to start are Tim Wakefield for Chicago and Cloyd Boyer for Pittsburgh.
