Cubs Sweep Pirates Behind Marquis

PITTSBURGH (AP) ― Jason Marquis shut down Pittsburgh's batters, and the Chicago Cubs turned two bunts into two runs and swept yet another three-game series from the Pirates with a 2-0 victory.

After scoring 26 runs -- 12 on Monday, 14 on Tuesday -- in the first two games, the Cubs turned to pitching and defense Wednesday for their third three-game sweep this season of the NL Central rival Pirates.

The Cubs won the season series 14-4, the most victories they've have against Pittsburgh since going 15-7 in 1954.
