in five innings, with three strikeouts and two walks.
Patrick Wisdom hit a solo homer for the Cubs, who have lost
three in a row and 13 of 15.
Chicago starter Matt Swarmer (1-3), making his fifth
major-league start, gave up five runs (four earned) and five

The Pirates got another in the second when Perez hit a two-out
homer to right-center to make it 2-0.
In the third, Reynolds singled to right-center with one out.
After Jack Suwinski walked, Vogelbach drove in Reynolds with a
base hit to right. An out later, Cruz singled to right to bring
Suwinski home for a 4-0 lead. Cruz drew an errant throw to

Vogelbach to score to make it 5-0.
Wisdom led off the fourth with his 13th homer, to center, to cut
it to 5-1.
Against Brandon Hughes in the fifth, Suwinski drew a one-out
walk and scored on Vogelbach's double to right for a 6-1 lead.

two games.
