Chicago Downed, 6-3, by Pirates
Chicago wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Tyler Matzek, falling to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-3. Matzek threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Jeff Gordon got the save, his 2nd in 3 chances. With the win over Chicago, the Pirates improved to 72-78.

Pittsburgh took a 5-3 lead on Juan Reyes's 43rd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Reyes hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Chicago pitcher Jose G. Gonzalez visibly frustrated.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Reyes.
