Starlin Castro had 2 base hits and 2 RBI as the Chicago (NL) Cubs defeated the
Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 3 to 2 at PNC Park.
 
Chicago (NL) took the lead for keeps in the top of the 4th inning scoring a
single run on 2 hits.  Bryan Lahair ripped a one-base hit.  Anthony Rizzo
came to the plate and ripped a base-knock.  After an out was recorded, Castro
then would ground out.  Pittsburgh threatened in the 9th but their rally came
up short.  
 
The victory was credited to Matt Garza(1-1) who went 8 innings, allowing 2
runs. James Russell earned his 1st save.  A.J. Burnett(0-1) absorbed the
loss.  
 
'Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals' said Clint Hurdle after the game.
'We lost this game today because we didn't follow the instructions every
Little Leaguer hears every day.'
