09/11 16:26 CDT Alex Bregman hits his 25th homer and the Cubs pound the Pirates 12-2 to end their 4-game skid Alex Bregman hits his 25th homer and the Cubs pound the Pirates 12-2 to end their 4-game skid By MATT CARLSON Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) --- Alex Bregman hit his 25th homer and doubled among three hits, Shota Imanaga tossed six effective innings and the Chicago Cubs pounded the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-2 on Friday to end a four-game slide. Seiya Suzuki had three hits, including a wind-blown triple, scored three runs and drove in one as the Cubs finished with 16 hits against three Pittsburgh pitchers and ended the Pirates' four-game winning streak. Chicago remains well behind NL Central-leading Milwaukee but is in position for a wild card. Michael Busch doubled and had three RBIs, and Carson Kelly doubled in a pair of runs. All of Chicago's starters had at least one hit, and five finished with two or more. Bregman went deep in the fourth inning, a two-run shot off Khristian Curtis that made it 9-1. Imanaga (10-10) allowed two runs on five hits in a second straight solid start and win. The left-hander struck out four and walked two. Bryan Reynolds hit a solo shot for Pittsburgh, which came in having won 9 of 11 to climb back above .500. Rookie Konnor Griffin tripled among two hits. Pirates rookie right fielder Esmerlyn Valdez left in the sixth inning with left hamstring discomfort after running to first on a groundout. The Cubs made it 3-1 in the second off Pirates opener Wilber Dotel (1-5). After Chicago loaded the bases, Michael Conforto's sac fly tied it at 1 and Kelly's double plated two more.

Up next Pirates RHP Paul Skenes (10-11, 3.83 ERA) faces Cubs RHP Clay Holmes (6-7, 2.83) on Saturday. ___ See AP's full MLB coverage here
