After the Chicago Cubs took advantage of their struggles for years, the Pittsburgh Pirates have turned the tables. The Pirates look to complete their first three-game sweep at Wrigley Field in a decade Sunday when they try for their eighth straight win over their NL Central rivals. After going 6-27 against the Cubs from Sept. 21, 2007-Sept. 29, 2009, including a 3-14 record at Wrigley Field, the Pirates have won seven in a row versus Chicago. That streak includes a sweep at home earlier this month and two victories in this series. Pittsburgh won 4-3 on Saturday as Jeff Clement homered in the ninth and Andrew McCutchen had two hits with an RBI, continuing his season-long success against the Cubs. The Pirates are hitting .293 against the Cubs this season as opposed to .227 against the rest of the league. McCutchen, 11 for 14 with five RBIs in four games against Chicago, had five hits Friday after going 0 for 9 in his previous series against Cincinnati.

McCutchen will try to help the Pirates complete their first three-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley Field since May 5-7, 2000. Chicago, which is 8-10 at home this season, has lost nine of 11 overall. The Cubs scored in the ninth off Octavio Dotel on Saturday but couldn’t plate the tying run from third with one out. The Cubs will try to avoid the sweep when they face Ross Ohlendorf. On Monday, Ohlendorf made his first start in more than a month, giving up one run and three hits in four innings of a 2-1 loss to the Reds. The right-hander, who had been on the disabled list with back spasms after making only one start, threw 84 pitches and walked four. In Ohlendorf’s only start against the Cubs, which came last season, he gave up four hits in seven innings of a 3-0 win, striking out eight.
