Despite blowing a lead late in yesterday’s game, the Pittsburgh Pirates came back to beat the Chicago Cubs, 8-7, in ten innings thanks to two key hits and a defensive gem by first baseman Michael Chavis.
The Cubs scored five runs in the top of the eighth to take their first lead in the game, but Chavis tied it in the bottom half with his seventh home run of the season. He, then, kept it tied in the top of the tenth with a clutch defensive play that nabbed Patrick Wisdom out at home.
