Wood, Cubs lose to Pirates 3-0 after 3½-hour wait

CHICAGO   (AP) — Pitching past midnight was a new experience for   Chicago   Cubs   starter Travis Wood.

In a game delayed more than 3½ hours by rain, the left-hander allowed three runs in the third inning but little else Monday night during a 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

"It was a long wait, but you just wait and prepare yourself for the ballgame," Wood said. "That's probably the latest I ever started a game and the latest I've been pitching."
