After the first three batters, the Pirates looked like they would have their way with a Cubs rookie last night, but things turned around quickly for Chicago. Greg Brown has the recap of a Pirates loss.
The Pirates will go for a split of the series this afternoon at PNC Park, with left-hander Bailey Falter on the mound for Pittsburgh and Chicago countering with righty Javier Assad.
The coverage begins with The Ben Cherington Show on WCCS at 12:35.
