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.

Ross Ohlendorf (8-7) went five innings, holding the Brewers to two runs on seven hits with two walks to get the win. Adam LaRoche had two hits and drove in a run and Andrew McCutchen had three hits and scored twice for the Pirates -- who beat Milwaukee for the first time since May 22, 2008, breaking a 17-game losing streak to the Brewers.

Atlanta -- Jeff Karstens began an eight-inning relief effort in a game he was originally scheduled to start Wednesday and Pittsburgh scratched out a 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Karstens was replaced as the starting pitcher by Charlie Morton, who was called up from Class AAA Indianapolis to face his former team.

Morton, however, suffered tightness in his right hamstring after one inning and was replaced by Karstens (3-4), who gave up a run on four hits over 4 2/3 innings.

Three more relievers combined to allow a hit over the last 3 1/3, with Matt Capps getting his 14th save despite giving up a solo homer to Garret Anderson in the ninth.
