- Pittsburgh Pirates 7 (5-1)
- Chicago Cubs 3 (1-5)
In the final game of the series, Chicago came out early, but wasn’t able to sustain it and were swept in 3 games. Ryne Sandberg gave the Cubs a 1st inning lead with a 2 run blast to start the festivities. In the 4th however, the Pirates came alive and singles by Van Slyke, Bonds, and King along with a double by LaValliere put Pittsburgh back on top with a 3-2 score. A pair of back to back trips from Gary Redus and Jay Bell to lead off the 5th tacked on another insurance run for the Bucs before back to back homers in the 7th by Van Slyke and Bobby Bonilla all but assured victory despite the Cubs snagging a solo home run from Luis Salazar in the 8th who came into the game for an injured Mark Grace. There were plenty of heroes in the game offensively, but Pittsburgh starter Zane Smith gets the game ball with a win on 8.1 innings pitched with 3 earned runs, and 4 strikeouts. Pittsburgh completes their first road trip and first series sweep with 7 runs on 12 hits without an error. The Cubbies fall with 3 runs on 7 hits and an error.
