Cubs Win Game One 3-1

Starlin Castro singled in the first inning, and Anthony Rizzo crushed a  mammoth two run homerun to give the Cubs a lead they would never relinquish. as they won 3-1 over the Pirates.



Carlos Marmol was his usual wild self. He got one batter out, then walked a batter and surrendered a run as manager Dale Sweum pulled him for Japanese Closer Kyuji Fujikawa, who got his first Major League Save.

The Cubs and Pirates were off yesterday, and do battle again today.

The Chicago Cubs are undefeated!
