Chicago Downed, 5-4, by Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up a win at Forbes Field, downing the Chicago Cubs, 5-4. On the mound for Pittsburgh was right-hander Mort Cooper, who played a pivotal role in the win. The Pirates, now 8-0, have hit the ground running this season.

Joe Grace went 2-3 with a double for Pittsburgh. The 32-year old left fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Preacher Roe. It was his 5th RBI of the season.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Cooper.
