PITTSBURGH (AP) - Derrek Lee and Kosuke Fukudome homered to
support Randy Wells' seven effective innings and the Chicago Cubs
won another series from division opponent Pittsburgh, beating the
Pirates 4-1 on Wednesday night.
With Wells (3-3) limiting the Pirates to one run and six hits in
his third consecutive victory, the Cubs took two of three in
Pittsburgh to avoid falling three games under .500 for the first
time since they were 36-39 in 2007.
Chicago has won eight of its last nine series against the
last-place Pirates dating to the teams' final matchup in 2007,
sweeping them four times. The Cubs have won nine of their last 12
in PNC Park.
Lee's two-run drive three batters into the game gave Chicago a
2-0 lead.
