Something about facing the Chicago Cubs continues to bring out the best in the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates try for a seventh consecutive victory over the struggling Cubs on Saturday at Wrigley Field. Garrett Jones and Andrew McCutchen homered and set career highs with five hits each as Pittsburgh improved to 4-0 against Chicago this season with a 10-6 win Friday. After going 6-27 against the Cubs from Sept. 21, 2007-Sept. 29, 2009, the Pirates have won six straight from their NL Central rivals. That included a home sweep of Chicago from May 4-6. The Cubs, who haven’t dropped in seven in a row to Pittsburgh since 1990, have lost eight of 10 overall. Chicago is a disappointing 8-9 at home in 2010. Pittsburgh had a season-high 16 hits Friday to snap a four-game losing streak in which it managed five runs and 18 hits and was shut out in its previous two contests.

Jones, whose three-run homer off reliever Carlos Zambrano in the eighth inning Friday broke a 6-6 tie, drove in a career-high five runs. McCutchen scored five runs and had two RBIs. The two rising stars are the first Pirates to have five hits in the same game since Willie Stargell and Bob Robertson on Aug. 1, 1970 at Atlanta. McCutchen is 9 for 11 with four RBIs in three games against the Cubs this season. Jones, a native of south suburban Chicago, is 10 for 17 with 10 RBIs versus them in 2010. After Pittsburgh tagged former Pirate Tom Gorzelanny for five runs in five innings in the series opener, it will try to beat scheduled starter Ryan Dempster for the second time this month. On May 4, Dempster allowed three runs in seven innings of a 3-2 loss at Pittsburgh. He dropped to 6-5 with a 5.26 ERA in 18 career starts versus the Pirates.
