Pirates' Jordy Mercer: Hitting leadoff Wednesday
Mercer will hit leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Cubs, MLB.com's Adam Berry reports.

Mercer has manned the leadoff spot each time the Pirates have faced a left-hander this season, and he will do so again Wednesday with Pittsburgh squaring off against lefty Jon Lester. Mercer has excelled atop the order this season, going 10-for-19 (.526) with a home run, two RBI, and four runs scored.
