NORTH Siders RF McDONALD treats a LIRIANO Offering in the 6th for a Three-Run TATER and that proves to be the difference as BUCS take a costly loss..."GET AWAY" Day the BUCCOS couldn't keep the CUBBIES away #WrigleyVilleHardball

The Pittsburgh Pirates saw the News on the Cubs Scoreboard and if they beat the Cubbies on Wednesday it would have taken them to s step closer to hosting that one-game playoff vs the Red Legs. The Cubs to the Buccos demise also saw the scored and they played spoiler after that and won as a night out in Wrigleyville feels a whole lot better playing Spoiler and winning.

Behind a solid outing from RHP Jake Arrieta (6 IP 4 H 1 R 2 BB 1 SO) and a Three-Run Tater by RF Darnell McDonald of Buccos Ace Francisco Liriano proved top be all the Cubbies needed for a 4-2 win. That win sent 'Burgh Hardball to the Banks of the Ohio just one game up on the Red Legs.

Liriano pitched well enough to win and he made that costly mistake to McDonald and in the Show to Major League Hitters that's all it takes as your cruising then you let a "Get Me Over" Slide Piece loose and it instant souvenir. First Baseman Justin Morneau and Pinch-Hitter Jose Tabata had an RBI each for the Buccos in he loss.

Now with just three games to play the NL Central Wild Card Home Field Advantage for the one-game playoff is on the line and neither the Buccos or Red Legs are playing like World Beaters right now.
