Cubs Dealt 5-3 Loss by Pittsburgh
The home crowd had a good time watching the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates get after it.

Chicago catcher Willson Contreras had a good game, even if his team did not. The Cubs dropped a 5-3 decision to Pittsburgh at PNC Park. Contreras went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. The Pirates, at 76-81, sit in last place in the National League Central Division.

In the bottom of the sixth, catcher Jason Castro hit a run-scoring single to right. The single, which was hit off of Wyatt Mills, gave Pittsburgh a 4-3 lead.

"We're a talented bunch when we're playing well," said Castro. "I think we showed that here."
