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.
