Anthony Rizzo's sac-fly RBI in the 12th inning lifted the Cubs to a 3-2 win over the Pirates at PNC Park. Kris Bryant doubled in a run in the sixth and then scored on Starlin Castro's sacrifice later in the frame. Hector Rondon picked up the win for the Northsiders, who have won two in-a-row since dropping the opener of the four-game set. Chicago is three games behind Pittsburgh for the top NL Wild Card spot. Gregory Polanco plated the tying run in the eighth for the Bucs, who are now four games back of St. Louis for first in the NL Central. Vance Worley took the loss.
Final game of the series is this afternoon in Pittsburgh.
