    The Pirates had a four-run lead in the first inning and were up two runs after five.

    Both times the Cubs came back, with Starlin Castro providing much of the power.

    In the end, the Pirates were finally able to shut down Chicago.

    Pedro Alvarez had two hits and two RBIs, and Russell Martin drove in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning as Pittsburgh beat the Cubs 7-6 on Tuesday night.
