Overall Advantage Chicago
In the top of the first, Beebe issued his 100th walk of the season and the Pirates had the bases loaded with one out. Leach came up to bat and lined to third for the second out. Nealon was next and he singled to bring two runs in.
In the bottom of the second, with a runner on third and nobody out, Beaumont dropped a Steinfeldt fly ball and Schulte scored to put the Cubs on the board.
In the bottom of the third, a two out single extended Tinker's hit streak to 13 games. The Cubs, however, would fail to score despite the Pirates having committed their third error of the game in the third inning.
After three: Pittsburgh 2 Chicago 1.
Nothing of note happened in the middle innings.
After six: Pittsburgh 2 Chicago 1.
In the top of the eighth, Leach added a crucial run-scoring single.
Phillippe led off the bottom of the eighth by striking out Beebe for his 125th K of the season.
Chance led off the bottom of the ninth with a single for his 150th hit of the season. Steinfeldt hit an RBI double with one out to cut the deficit down to a single run. Then, with two out, Slagle tied the game with a run-scoring double of his own. Kling then grounded to the pitcher and the game went into extra innings.
After nine: Pittsburgh 3 Chicago 3.
In the bottom of the tenth, Sheckard hit a one out double but injured his leg sliding into second and had to leave the game. He was replaced by Solly Hofman. One out later, Chance singled to bring Hofman home with the winning run.
Final score: Chicago 4 Pittsburgh 3 10 innings.
