Cubs 14, Pirates 9
Adam LaRoche drove in two in the first, and scored later that inning. (Keith Srakocic/AP)
By Jenifer Langosch / MLB.com
Adam LaRoche doubled in two in the first to start the scoring, and six Pirates starters had multihit nights, but the bullpen walked in the loss in a seven-run eighth. With this contest, the Bucs, who are on a six-game winless streak, dropped game No. 6 to the Cubs at PNC Park.
