Cubs Get Win, Extend Streak to 8
Chicago beat Pittsburgh on the strength of starter John Mitchell's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a 4-1 win. In 8 innings, Mitchell surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 4. He allowed 1 run. The Pirates, at 48-71, have lost 5 straight games.

One of the stars of the game was Chicago catcher Mike Piazza. In the bottom of the third with two out, he got a curveball from Jack Armstrong and hit a 2-run home run. That made the score 3-1 in favor of the Cubs.

Piazza said afterward that the win gets the team one step closer to its goal.
