  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Chicago Cubs (39-22) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 4 11 3
Pittsburgh Pirates (38-24) 1 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 X 5 8 0
Victory Over Cubs Takes Pittsburgh to 38-24
The Pittsburgh Pirates topped the Chicago Cubs, 5-4, with youngster Benji Gil playing a key role. Gil went 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Pirates in the win. Pittsburgh goes to 38-24. The win puts them 2½ games up in their division.

Had Billy Shantz not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Shantz hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Pirates.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Chicago manager Matt Ida said following the tough loss.
