Pierzynski delivered his first triple in more than two seasons to break a scoreless tie and then scored on a squeeze bunt by Brent Lillibridge.

Lillibridge drove in another run in the fifth when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

Peavy (3-1) concluded his second stint on the disabled list this season by surviving 5 1/3 innings. He allowed all three runs on seven hits while striking out five.

Sergio Santos struck out two during a perfect ninth for his 14th save.

Carlos Pena homered and Starlin Castro and Jeff Baker each drove in a run for the Cubs.
