Pounding out 16 hits, the Pirates whipped the Cubs, 11-3. A two-run homer by Bill Madlock snapped a 3-3 tie in the fifth inning. Tim Foli cracked a two-run double in the sixth and the Bucs added four runs in the seventh, scoring on a single by Foli, doubles by Eddie Solomon and Omar Moreno and a single by Dave Parker. Solomon went the route for the Pirates, allowing solo homers to Mike Tyson and Jesus Figueroa -- his first in the major leagues. [The Sporting News]
