Chris Dunn was the difference maker last night against the Pirates but just missed out on Cubs Player of the Game.......again! Keep at it, brother! It'll happen : ) Chris Tripled (legitimately), singled and doubled up Pirates runner at first from centerfield (480 feet away...... is what he said, anyway). In all seriousness, Chris is a HUGE part of the Cubs - for years!

Lots of hitting and defense by the Cubs.

Highlights:

Cubs
- Chris Dunn mentioned above (again - juuuuuuuust missed out on Cubs Player of the Game). Carlos Espada leads the team with like 5 POG's!
- Bryce Cutler, legitimate triple, 2 Runs scored
- Dave Mitchell, 400mph double
- Darrell Duncan, single/double
- Carlos Espada closed out the last two innings to preserve the shutout

Pirates
- Eric Sundwall broke up no-hitter with a single
- Rob Currier added Pirates 2nd hit
