Chicago, Sept. 30: Ryan Doumit drove in four runs and scored three times Wednesday, leading Pittsburgh to an 8-2 win over the Chicago Cubs and a sweep of a doubleheader.

The Pirates won the opener 4-0 and have captured four of their last five games. If they can win two of their final four, they will avoid a 100-loss season.

Doumit doubled home two runs in the third, then scored on a single by Brandon Moss. Doumit had an RBI single in the seventh and came around to score on a fielder's choice grounder from Moss.

The Pittsburgh catcher added a solo homer in the ninth.

Pittsburgh -- A two-run, third-inning single by Brandon Moss Friday was enough to bring Pittsburgh a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

His only hit broke a 1-1 tie with two outs in the bottom of the third.

Garrett Jones hit a first-inning sacrifice fly, while Andy LaRoche had two of the seven hits for the Pirates, who snapped their six-game losing streak.

Winner Donald Veal (1-0), the second of five Pirate pitchers, recorded his first major league victory by limiting Los Angeles to two hits in two scoreless innings with no walks and three strikeouts.

Closer Matt Capps earned his 26th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

LA's run scored on Orlando Hudson's second-inning double.

Miami, July 3: A two-run homer by Ramon Vazquez and a two-run double by Andrew McCutchen Friday pushed the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-4 decision over Florida.

The Marlins, who had won eight of their previous 11 games, dropped out of a first-place tie with Philadelphia in the National League East.

Charlie Morton (1-1), making only his fourth start of the season, threw six shutout innings to get the win.

Brandon Moss put Pittsburgh in front with a solo homer in the first and Vazquez delivered his two-run blast in the second. McCutchen's double came during Pittsburgh's three-run seventh that boosted the Pirates to a 7-0 lead.
