Cubs Win, 7-1, in Extra Frames
The Pittsburgh Pirates went down to defeat to Brian Martinko and his Chicago teammates. The final score was 7-1, in favor of the Cubs. David Joplin, who is tied for 6th in the NL in holds with 15, picked up the win in relief. Willie Lopez took the loss for Pittsburgh. Chicago has now won 7 games in a row.

Chicago took a 2-1 lead on Armando Dias's 3rd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Dias hit in the top of the tenth, left Pittsburgh pitcher Willie Lopez visibly frustrated.

"I went out and just tried to do my job," said Martinko.
