The Cubs have won six of their 10 matchups with the Pirates so far this season after winning just five of their 19 matchups with them in 2014. Pittsburgh has won each of its last two home games against the Cubs.

The Pirates have just two losses in their last 13 games at PNC Park and own a 26-8 record there since May 22 -- the best home record in the majors in that span.

The Cubs have won each of their last five road contests and will be looking to win six in a row away from home for the first time since an eight game run back in September of 2010.

Jake Arrieta, who has allowed a total of just four runs over his last five road starts (0.97 ERA over stretch), has struck out at least six batters in each of his last 11 starts away from home (second-longest active streak in majors, Max Scherzer 13).

Andrew McCutchen has gone hitless over his last three home games against the Cubs, after hitting .381 (24/63) with nine multi-hit games over his previous 17 home games against the Cubs.

Anthony Rizzo is hitting .405 (15-for-37) against the Pirates this season -- his second highest batting average against any opponent (minimum 5 games; .423 vs. Washington). Rizzo has 39 RBI in his career against Pittsburgh -- the most RBI in his career versus any foe.

HP - Hickox, 1B - Randazzo, 2B - Estabrook, 3B - Nauert

The Chicago Cubs opted against dealing coveted prospects to acquire one of the top-line starting pitchers on the market at last week's trade deadline. They didn't stay quiet, however, as they still managed to make a trade to improve the back end of their rotation for a playoff push.
Veteran Dan Haren will make his Cubs debut Wednesday night as Chicago looks to win seven in a row for the first time in four years by again knocking around the Pittsburgh Pirates' Jeff Locke in the finale of this rain-shortened two-game series at PNC Park.

Cubs-Pirates Preview

PITTSBURGH (AP)  The Chicago Cubs, who start four rookies most days, haven't been in a pennant race since 2008.
However, instead of being nervous, the young Cubs are enjoying the moment.
