Result:
LOSS

Pittsburgh won 5-1 last night, but the Pirates still have scored a total of only 12 against the Cubs the last six meetings. Mike Montgomery has pitched well against the Pirates this year allowing only four runs in 13 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts. The left-hander comes off a 9-1 win over Arizona last Tuesday while giving up only four hits with eight strikeouts. Pittsburgh has lost five of Chris Archer's last seven starts and he has been inconsistent since being acquired by the Pirates from Tampa Bay. Chicago hitters that have faced Archer are batting a combined .319 against him and he has a 4.78 ERA overall since the All-Star break. The Pirates have also lost Archer's last four road starts. The Cubs have won 23 of their last 32 home games versus right-handed starters and they are 75-35 their last 110 games following a loss. Take the Cubs.
