Cubs 3, Pirates 2
CHICAGO — Aramis Ramirez ended a 155 at-bat home run drought and Ryan Dempster pitched six solid innings for the Cubs in a rain-delayed game. Ramirez's line drive solo shot in the second broke the second-longest homer drought of his career. He went 170 at-bats between homers from Aug. 2, 1998, until April 21, 2000.
