Pirates Capitalize on Cubs Mistakes
Power past Cubs 7-1 to open season

The Pirates took advantage of 3 Chicago errors on their way to an Opening Day rout. The wind was playing tricks on fly balls all game long.

Kevin Correia made a stellar debut for the Bucs, going 8 strong innings while allowing just 1 run. For his effort, he was named the Player of the Game. Said Correia, "I couldn't have asked for a better game. I just wanted to prove myself to me new teammates, and I think that I did. I realize that this is only 1 of 162, so we still have a ton of work to do."

Correia's impressive Pirates debut

The Pirates and Cubs continue their series tomorrow afternoon at Wrigley Field
