Pirates back to .500 with 4-2 win over Cubs
The Pittsburgh Pirates are still hanging around respectability at the moment, as they beat the Chicago Cubs for the second straight night with some timely hitting and another good performance from the bullpen.
Jose Quintana got the start, and he went four and a third, giving up a two-run double to Michael Hermasillo in the second inning to go along with three walks and three strikeouts.
This came after a two-run single by Roberto Perez in the top of the inning gave the Bucs a 2-0 lead. Perez wouldn’t be done, as he’d hit a solo shot later in the fifth, and he finished 2-for-3 with 3 of Pittsburgh’s RBIs.
Roberto Perez: 2-for-2, HR, 3 RBI
