Watch: Rafael Ortega and Ian Happ Home Runs Give Cubs Lead
The Cubs entered the bottom of the seventh inning trailing 3-0 to the visiting Pirates, but a couple of home runs would erase that lead and more. Rafael Ortega got things started with his ninth home run of the year to tie things at three. Ian Happ followed two batters later with his 18th home run of the year to put the Cubs up 5-3.
