Pittsburgh Upended, 2-1, by Chicago
Chicago Cubs starter Landon Knack pitched a strong game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field, leading the Cubs to victory, 2-1. In 7 innings, Knack surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 3. He allowed 1 run. With the win, Chicago pushed its record to 75-48.

Chicago took a 2-1 lead on Dane Myers's 13th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Myers hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Pittsburgh pitcher Landen Roupp visibly frustrated.

"We found a way to get it done," Knack said.
