9/28 - Three Rivers Pirates 2, Cubs 0
Kravec (1-6) vs Rhoden (3-4)
Since the Pirates clinched the NL East long ago this series was about staying healthy and seeing who is going to make the post season roster. Rick Rhoden, who had been mediocre picked the right time to shine by tossing a complete game 4 hit shutout. Rhoden fanned 5 and walked none in an outing that just might convince manager Gotay to put him in the post season rotation. The Bucs got both of their runs in back to back innings (4th & 5th). Bill Madlock's lead off homer in the 4th, his 7th on the season, broke a 0-0 tie. His RBI double the following inning scored Omar Moreno. Chicago never had a runner advance past 2nd.
9/28 - 2nd Game of DH
Cubs 7, Pirates 3
Bird (3-0) vs Perez (4-3)
Pascual Perez' audition for a post season roster spot did not go all that well. After being staked to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first Perez and his defense handed the game right back to the Cubbies. Mike Tyson's 3 run homer in the 5th put the Cubs up 3-2. Chicago chipped away for more runs off of Perez and the Pirate pen. Doug Bird ran out of gas in the 9th, so Dick Tidrow cam on board to put out the fire and notch the final out and his 5th save.

Pirates 4, Cubs 0
Caudill (1-3) vs Jones (3-3)
Odell Jones took the Rhoden route, not the Perez route, as he tossed a tidy 2 hit complete game shutout. Chicago's Bill Caudhill injured his shoulder midway through the 2nd inning and had to be replaced by Lynn McGlothen, who went almost 5 innings and gave up 2. After Omar Moreno led off the bottom of the 1st with a triple, Tim Foli popped out and Mike Easler grounded out. Moreno scored on Easlers slow roller to short to make it 1-0, which is how it stood until the Bucs blew the game open on a 3 run homer by "the CObra", Dave Parker in the bottom of the 7th. Jones, who was nursing that 1-0 lead was able to breathe a sigh of relief and coast easily to the finish line.
