The Cubs are on a roll, and your Buccos are, too... in the opposite direction.
Mitch Keller pitches 8 scoreless and Bednar dodges a bullet to notch the save as the Buccos win 2-1 at PNC Park.
Palacio's blast into the river and 2 men on in the ninth weren't enough as Hatch can't close it and the Pirates lose to the Cubs, 5-4.
The Pirates finally win a series, taking 2 of 3 from St. Louis to remain out of the NL Central Basement. Cruz is shut down for the year.
Palacios has a career night, 5 RBIs in Buccos Win.
