Marlon Byrd went 1-for-3 with a solo home run on Saturday, powering the Pirates to a 2-1 victory over the Cubs. The Pirates trailed 1-0 for most of the game, until a Jose Tabata solo homer in the sixth inning knotted the score at 1-1. Marlon Byrd then delivered the requisite support for starter Gerrit Cole with a towering drive to right off James Russell in the seventh. Since joining the Pirates on August 28, Byrd is hitting .323 (20-for-62) with two homers and 10 RBI in 17 games.
