Cubs Win at Home, 6-4
Tyler Glasnow, who finished 3rd in the NL in strikeouts with 245 last year, propelled his team to victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The final score was 6-4, Chicago. David Bednar got the save, his 29th in 31 chances. The first-place Cubs, at 83-57, now lead their division by 10½ games.

In the top of the ninth, Greg Allen stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Pirates were trailing 6-4, but had runners on 1st and 2nd. That's when David Bednar made a terrific pitch and Allen struck out. Gone was the dream of a Pittsburgh comeback.
