Rookie Starling Marte had three hits and an RBI for the Pirates and Mike McKenry drove in two runs.
NOTES: RHP Ryan Dempster is slated to start the second game of the series for the Cubs though he continues to be the subject of trade rumors. Cubs manager Dale Sveum said he would be "surprised" if Dempster was still with the team after Tuesday's trade deadline. Chicago will have a minor league pitcher travel to Chicago as a contingency to a Dempster transaction. ... Another subject of trade rumors, Cubs RHP Matt Garza threw a bullpen session on Monday that Sveum said went "extremely well." Garza is expected to return to action later this week. His last start was pushed back because of cramping in his right arm. ... Pirates manager Clint Hurdle celebrated his 55th birthday on Tuesday.
