The Pittsburgh Pirates go for their second straight win over the Chicago Cubs when they hit the field on Friday afternoon. The Pirates came to town on a two-game losing streak, but they took the opener from the Cubs 5-4. The win was just their third in the last nine games and improved their record to 20-25 on the season. Friday they will look to get another win and clinch at least a series-split. They will send rookie sensation Paul Skenes to the mound. Skenes will be making his second start of his career and both have come against the Cubs. In his first start, he gave up three runs in four innings and struck out seven.

The Cubs will counter with veteran Kyle Hendicks. He has struggled this year, but he is coming off his best start as he gave up just one run in five innings against the Pirates on Sunday. The Cubs would win that game, but Hendricks didn’t get a decision and he is still looking for his first win of the season.
The Cubs are hoping he can give them another great start as they try and even the series. The Cubs took two of three against the Pirates last weekend, but each game has been close.
