James McDonald, Pirates Take On Cubs

The Pirates look to take the series from the Cubs at 12:35 this afternoon at PNC. James McDonald pitches for the Bucs; hopefully we'll get last year's first half McDonald rather than last year's second-half McDonald. (My computer automatically inserted that when I typed "James McDonald.") Lefty Travis Wood goes for the Cubs.
