Alfonso Soriano hit two two-run homers Saturday afternoon as the Cubs beat the Pirates 4-1. Soriano’s power is about all he has left, as he finishes the game with a .282 OBP but a .446 slugging percentage, now with 12 homers on the season. He’s only 16 homers from 400 for his career.
The Cardinals gain a game on Pittsburgh and now trail the Pirates by one.
