A triple play helped the Pittsburgh Pirates maintain their 1 1/2-game lead for the NL's second wild card. Josh Harrison started Pittsburgh's first triple play at home in 21 years and hit a tying two-run double in a six-run fifth inning Sunday as the Pirates rallied past the Chicago Cubs 7-3. ''It was fun,'' Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. ''You've got to pour some fun on everything you do, and we had more fun after the triple play.'' Edinson Volquez (12-7) improved to 4-0 in his last 10 starts for the Pirates, who have won eight of their last 10 games.
