The Old Joliet Haunted Prison returns for the season this weekend!

Johan Oviedo tied his career high with seven strikeouts in seven innings, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0 to snap an eight-game losing streak.

The right-hander went at least seven innings for the first time this season and second time in 24 career starts. 

The Pirates (56-96) ended Chicago's four-game winning streak, and now must win at least seven of their final 10 games to avoid reaching 100 losses for the 10th time. 

Wade Miley (1-2) gave up one hit over the next three innings before leaving with left oblique tightness in the fifth.
