If all goes to plan, catcher Miguel Amaya will be signing autographs for Cubs fans for years to come.

PITTSBURGH – The Cubs’ starting pitcher and catcher Saturday were both under 25 years old. Left-hander Jordan Wicks made his major-league debut, and backstop Miguel Amaya served as his guide with 39 major-league games under his belt.

They played like a more seasoned duo.

“Hopefully a big part of our future was the battery yesterday,” manager David Ross said Sunday, before the Cubs’ 10-1 win against the Pirates.
