Walk-Off Victory for Cubs Takes Record to 89-62
The Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-8 at Wrigley Field, in part due to left fielder Luis Gonzalez, who nabbed player of the game honors. He went 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The winner was Chicago reliever Frank DiPino, now 6-2. The loser was Bryan Harvey. The Cubs, now 89-62, have won 5 in a row.

The Cubs beat the Pirates in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out double Jay Buhner produced in the bottom of the ninth. Batting against Pittsburgh pitcher Bryan Harvey, Buhner gave his team a 9-8 lead when he hit a walk-off bases-clearing double.

"It's a thrill to get that kind of win," Gonzalez said.
