Paxton Handcuffs Cubs, Pirates Seize 1-0 Advantage in DS
Leave it to the veteran.

The Pittsburgh Pirates got a great start from 35-year-old left-hander James Paxton, who earned player of the game honors today as Pittsburgh won the contest 4-1 at Wrigley Field. Paxton threw 9 innings of 4-hit ball in the win, which allowed the Pittsburgh to grab a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Paxton, who was born in Richmond, Canada, threw 102 pitches over 9 innings, while allowing 1 earned run.

"This kind of win will certainly make our fans happy," Paxton told the Pittsburgh Daily News.

Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The scheduled starters for the game are Randy Wolf for Pittsburgh and Kyle Gibson for Chicago.
