Cubs grab early lead, top Pirates

Baseball Betting Lines

07/01/2009 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Derrek Lee belted a two-run home run and Randy Wells tossed seven innings of one-run ball to lead the Chicago Cubs past the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-1, in the rubber match of a three-game set at PNC Park.

Wells (3-3) gave up six hits and fanned four batters to collect his third straight victory. Kevin Gregg retired the side in the ninth to pick up his 14th save of the year.

Kosuke Fukudome hit a solo homer and doubled for the Cubs, who had lost seven of nine coming into the tilt. Geovany Soto went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI single.

Virgil Vasquez (1-1) went six frames, allowing three runs on seven hits with three walks and two strikeouts to take the loss. Vasquez got his first major- league victory against the Royals last Friday. He allowed two runs and four hits in six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts in that game.

Brandon Moss knocked in the lone run for the Pirates with a single. Andrew McCutchen and Jason Jaramillo each had two hits for Pittsburgh, which has won five of its last eight games despite the loss.

The Cubs used a two-run homer from Lee in the top of the first inning to take the early edge. Sam Fuld started things with his first-career MLB hit -- a double to right. Fuld crossed the plate two batters later when Lee drove a Vasquez offering over the wall in center.

Pittsburgh plated a run in the bottom half of the frame. McCutchen doubled and Adam LaRoche walked to put runners on the corners with two outs. Moss then knocked in McCutchen with a single to center.

Chicago put men on first and third with one out in the top of the fifth, but Lee grounded into a double play. In the home half of the inning, Jack Wilson was thrown out at the plate after Freddy Sanchez singled to left.

Fukudome smacked a two-out, home run over the wall in right field in the sixth to extend the Cubs' margin to 3-1.

Soto added an RBI single in the eighth.

Carlos Marmol and Gregg tossed a scoreless eighth and ninth, respectively, to secure the victory.
