PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Derrek Lee and Kosuke Fukudome homered to support Randy Wells' seven effective innings and the Chicago Cubs won another series from division opponent Pittsburgh, beating the Pirates 4-1 on Wednesday night.

With Wells (3-3) limiting the Pirates to one run and six hits in his third consecutive victory, the Cubs took two of three in Pittsburgh to avoid falling three games under .500 for the first time since they were 36-39 in 2007.

Chicago has won eight of its last nine series against the last-place Pirates dating to the teams' final matchup in 2007, sweeping them four times. The Cubs have won nine of their last 12 in PNC Park.

Lee's two-run drive three batters into the game gave Chicago a 2-0 lead.
