Opening Day vs Cubs

 

It was a cold day at the start of the game and the bats for the Bucs were also cold.  They could only muster up 3 hits all game.   Jeff Samardzija, the Cubs Pitcher, had an awesome day striking out 9 and only giving up 2 hits through 8 innings.  A.J. Burnett also pitched a good game for the Pirates but made a few mistakes in the 1st inning.  He gave up a 2 run home run to Anothony Rizzo.  That would be all that the Cubs would need.  Bucs lose 3-1.
