Cubs Take Home 3-1 Win Over Pittsburgh
Justin Sorensen was masterful in helping the Chicago Cubs take down the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-1. The Cubs now own a record of 81-64.

The Pirates had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Cubs going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the four-time All-Star Joel Van Vleet came to the plate. Van Vleet hit a 2-run home run on a full count slider from Pittsburgh hurler Marcelino Ramires. It was Van Vleet's 15th home run of the year.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Cubs manager Vin Calia, "I like our chances."
