BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJORS : Who’s at Home? Mix-Up Costs Aude Hit
A batting order mix-up Sunday by the Pittsburgh Pirates cost rookie first baseman Rich Aude a hit. The Pirates were caught batting out of order in the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs, which they won, 1-0.
The error occurred between games. Pirates Manager Jim Leyland put the proper lineup on the official card that went to the umpires and Cubs. A different order was posted on the large dugout card. That was the one the players followed.
