CHICAGO -- It will be an established veteran against a rising rookie as the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates meet in the middle game of a weekend series on Saturday at Wrigley Field.
Jake Arrieta, one of the National League's top pitchers and a 2015 Cy Young Award winner, makes his 101st career start for Chicago and seeks a 3-0 beginning to the season.
The Pirates counter with right-hander Tyler Glasnow (0-1), who makes his second start after being rocked in his season debut on Monday.
Pittsburgh looks to build on Friday's 4-2 victory over the Cubs that snapped a six-game Wrigley Field losing streak.
