Cubs Come Back Late to Clip Pirates
Chicago second baseman Ian Happ played a vital role in his team's 9-4 triumph over Pittsburgh. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 3 times for Chicago. Chicago goes to 7-5.

Chicago used the clutch hitting of Willson Contreras to snag the win. The pinch hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 5-4. It was his lone hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Happ said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
