John Jaso hit for the cycle as the Pirates beat the Cubs 8-4 Wednesday night.
Jaso led off the second with a single, then hit his seventh homer of the year with Matt Joyce and Sean Rodriguez on in the fourth. Rodriguez was on again the following inning when Jaso doubled to right. That left Jaso with only a triple to complete the cycle, and he improbably got one in the seventh, driving in Rodriguez for a third time -- Jaso's drive to deep center wedged itself under the wall, and he scampered around to third for just his third three-bagger of the season.
