Cubs Prevail, 3-1, Over Pittsburgh
The Chicago Cubs got a good effort from starter Jesus Luzardo in defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. The final score was 3-1. Chicago, at 78-54, is 10½ games up in the National League Central Division.

Chicago used a clutch at-bat from Wander [UNRATED] Franco to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Chicago manager Bryan H said his team played a "no nonsense" game.
