The Cubs got a split in Pittsburgh, but they’ve still got one more game to go with the Pirates over in Williamsport, PA. Both teams will be wearing special jerseys for the Little League Classic, which will be played in front of thousands of young baseball players and their families.
Jason Heyward leads off in center with Nicholas Castellanos in right, Kris Bryant at third, and Anthony Rizzo at first. Javy Báez mans short, Kyle Schwarber is in left, Victor Caratini is catching, and Tony Kemp is at second.
The Pirates will send rookie Mitch Keller to the mound to make his fifth start in an attempt to lower an unsightly 7.
