Brewers drop duel to Cubs

Both teams will face rookie starting pitchers on Sunday. The Pirates will face right-hander Josh Smith (0-3, 7.22 ERA), with J.A. Happ (10-8, 3.74) taking the hill, while the Cubs will face right-hander Jorge Lopez (1-0, 5.40), making his second career start. Dan Haren (10-9, 3.67) goes for Chicago. Both games begin at 2:05 p.m. CT.

If the Cubs and Pirates finished with identical regular-season records, the Wild Card Game would be played at Wrigley Field because Chicago won the season series, 11-8.

Saturday's win was the seventh in a row for the Cubs, and featured another stellar outing by their starting pitcher.
