At Chicago, Brad Lincoln pitched seven strong innings for his first major league win and Garrett Jones had a key RBI double as Pittsburgh continued its mastery of Chicago.
The last-place Pirates have beaten the Cubs nine times in 12 meetings. One-third of their victories (27) this season have come at the expense of Chicago.
Pittsburgh broke the scoreless tie in the eighth with two unearned runs when Andy LaRoche reached on Aramis Ramirez's error with one out, Andrew McCutchen singled and Jones drove a ball off the ivy in left-center for a run-scoring double against reliever Andrew Cashner (0-3). After an intentional walk to Ryan Doumit loaded the bases, Chicago reliever Sean Marshall struck out Pedro Alvarez, but walked Lastings Milledge to make it 2-0.

Francis (2-3) allowed eight runs and seven hits in three-plus innings, walked three and had no strikeouts.
Diamondbacks 4, Cardinals 2
At St. Louis, Barry Enright gave Arizona five solid innings as the fill-in for Edwin Jackson and Chris Young hit a two-run home run in a victory over St. Louis that avoided a three-game sweep.
Both Enright (1-0) and the Cardinals' Jeff Suppan (0-4) went at least five innings in a game that lasted 3 hours, 53 minutes.
