 PITTSBURGH (AP) - The way the Cubs hit and win in Pittsburgh, maybe PNC Park should be renamed Wrigley Field East.
Matt Murton's bases-loaded triple and Todd Walker's four hits helped give Chicago a six-run lead, and the Cubs held off a Pittsburgh comeback attempt to beat the Pirates 11-6 Friday night.
Chicago withstood three homers in a span of four batters in the sixth inning — by Nate McLouth, Craig Wilson and Jason Bay — to win its eighth in a row in Pittsburgh. The Cubs have won 12 of 13 there since May 30, 2004, and have won 21 of their last 27 against the Pirates.
