Oviedo cruises through 7, Pirates top Cubs 6-0 to end skid

Johan Oviedo tied his career high with seven strikeouts in seven innings, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0 on Saturday night to snap an eight-game losing streak. Oviedo (4-2) retired the final 16 batters he faced, allowing just three hits on 82 pitches without issuing a walk. “I'm really happy and thankful, first of all, with the coaches and the staff and the work that we put into these past weeks,” Oviedo said.
