document: Five-run rally carries Cubs to win CHICAGO -LRB- AP -RRB- Blake DeWitt came to Chicago Cubs spring training expecting to play a lot at second base . During those six weeks in Arizona , he pretty much played himself out of a job . After hitting just .186 during the spring , he 's got new duties now : part-time player , utility man and pinch-hitter . On Saturday , he delivered as that pinch-hitter , blasting a two-run , two-out , bases-loaded double to cap a five-run eighth inning and send the Cubs past the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3 . '' `` Whatever is asked of me . Just keep playing and working , '' '' DeWitt said . '' `` It 's new to me . I 've had several pinch-hit opportunities in my career . I 'm not going to say a lot . I 've done it before , so I have a decent idea of how to get ready . '' '' Chicago 's comeback against relievers Evan Meek and Chris Resop was aided by a costly error on Pirates first baseman Lyle Overbay that made three of Chicago 's runs in the eighth unearned . '' `` We finally put an inning together . Good for Blake DeWitt , it 's a huge hit for him and for us , '' '' said Cubs manager Mike Quade , who got his first win as a full-time skipper . Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano left the game in the seventh with cramping in his right hand , one batter after he 'd given up a leadoff homer to Garrett Jones that gave the Pirates a 3-0 lead . '' `` Just a cramp , but I 'll be OK . Drink a lot of fluids and do what I have to do , '' '' said Zambrano , who 's had cramping issues previously in his career . Zambrano said he began to cramp in his hamstring as he ran to the mound to start the seventh . After giving up the homer , Zambrano had a 2-2 count on Ronny Cedeno but could n't continue . Sean Marshall -LRB- 1-0 -RRB- got the victory with a scoreless eighth and Carlos Marmol pitched the ninth for his first save . Pirates starter Paul Maholm pitched 6 2-3 shutout innings , giving up five hits , before the Cubs got to the Pirates '' '' bullpen . '' `` We had the game and let it get away from us . But you know what ? I 'll hand the ball to Meek every time , and all those guys in the bullpen . Everybody is going to have bad outings , '' '' Maholm said . Chicago finally broke through as Meek -LRB- 0-1 -RRB- walked pinch-hitter Kosuke Fukudome and threw a wild pitch before Starlin Castro hit an RBI double to make it 3-1 . Overbay then misplayed Marlon Byrd 's grounder for an error as Castro scored to make it 3-2 . Geovany Soto had a one-out single and Alfonso Soriano singled to right-center on a 1-2 pitch to tie it at 3 . Resop relieved and walked Tyler Colvin to load the bases . Dewitt then doubled to left as Wrigley Field erupted . '' `` With the bases loaded , you know he 's got to come at you with strikes , '' '' DeWitt said . '' `` I put a good swing on it and came through . '' '' After losing the opener to the Pirates 6-3 when they let a 2-0 lead slip away , the Cubs were comforted by a comeback of their own . '' `` You fall behind 3-0 and with the loss yesterday you get behind late in the game like that you can roll over and quit or keep battling , '' '' DeWitt said . '' `` It definitely helps create an identity to this ball club , that we 're going to give it all for nine -LRB- innings -RRB- . And that 's what happened . '' '' Meek , trying to set it up for hard-throwing closer Joel Hanrahan , took the blame . '' `` When you go out there and walk the leadoff guy , it 's never a good sign . I just did n't make good pitches when I needed to . Did n't make very smart pitches , not smart locations , '' '' Meek said . '' `` I go out there every day expecting to get three outs and get them quickly . ... It 's a very confident feeling , so going out there and not doing my job and not making the pitches , walking the leadoff guy , that weighs on you hard . Your team got three runs on the board , your starter did a great job and you 're expected to get three outs . It just was n't a good day for me . '' '' Zambrano was put on a suspended list last June , the day after he went on a rampage in the dugout at U.S. Cellular Field . He eventually underwent anger management counseling , and when he rejoined the team , he found his groove and went 8-0 over his final 11 starts . Zambrano , who threw 99 pitches on a cool 46-degree day , gave up five hits and three runs in his six innings plus . Zambrano walked two in the top of the first before Pedro Alvarez pulled a two-out RBI single to right to give the Pirates an early 1-0 lead . Neil Walker , who 'd hit a grand slam in Pittsburgh 's 6-3 season-opening victory Friday , had an RBI double in the third after Jose Tabata reached on an infield single . After Andrew McCutchen walked to put runners at first and second with no outs , Zambrano averted a big inning . He struck out Overbay and then raced to cover first and complete a double play that was started by first baseman Carlos Pena on Alvarez 's broken-bat grounder . Maholm retired the first eight batters before Zambrano drove a double . NOTES : It was five degrees warmer than Friday , and was accompanied by a 12-mph wind blowing left to right . The crowd was much smaller , announced at 35,782 compared to 41,358 a day earlier ... Matt Garza , who will make his Cubs debut Sunday , spent most of Saturday leading cheers on the dugout steps while wearing sunglasses and a sweat shirt . ... Jones had a quick start last season when he hit two homers in the opener against the Dodgers . He had four homers against the Cubs last season when Pittsburgh won 10 of 15 games .
