The Chicago Cubs clubbed six home runs to back six strong innings from Randy Wells en route to an 11-6 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at PNC Park. Aramis Ramirez and Geovany Soto each ripped two-run dingers, while Alfonso Soriano smacked two solo homers and Tyler Colvin and Marlon Byrd each added solo shots for the Northsiders, who pounded out 21 total hits to register their second straight win on the heels of a five-game slide. Wells gave up just two runs with seven strikeouts to improve to 3-and-4 on the season. Matt Garza will be on the bump opposite Charlie Morton in tonight's third installment.
