Chicago's Tom Gorzelanny lasted five innings, giving up a season-high five runs and allowing nine hits in his second straight start.
Burres, who pitched three-hit ball over seven scoreless innings in his previous start against Chicago, wasn't much better, allowing six runs and seven hits in four innings. He had thrown 13 1-3 scoreless innings.
The Pirates came in tied for 28th with Seattle in runs and had gone 19 scoreless innings before getting an RBI single from Andrew McCutchen, bases-loaded walk by Milledge and sacrifice fly by Steve Pearce. But that lead unraveled in a hurry.
Pearce left the game in the fifth inning with soreness behind his right knee.
NOTES: Immigrant rights activists protested outside Wrigley Field, saying the Cubs should move their spring training facility out of Arizona. Members of the group are upset with a stringent new immigration law in Arizona that they believe encourages racial profiling. They also don't like the Arizona Legislature's failure to fund a new spring home for the team in Mesa. ... Pittsburgh's Aki Iwamura is now hitless in his last 24 at-bats after going 0 for 6. ... The Pirates have won six straight against the Cubs. ... "American Idol" finalist Lee Dewyze of suburban Mount Prospect, Ill., threw out the first pitch.
