In his second game as a big leaguer, former A's first round pick Addison Russell collected the first hit of his career in the Cubs' 4-3 loss to the Pirates on Wednesday night.
With the bases empty and one out in the top of the third inning, Russell lined a single to center field off of Pirates starter Vance Worley.
The Cubs second baseman finished the game 1 for 4.
Russell went 0 for 5 with three strikeouts in his Major League debut on Tuesday.
The prized prospect switched from shortstop to second base in the minors last week and the Cubs summoned the 21-year-old Monday night.
The Cubs acquired Russell, outfield prospect Billy McKinney and pitcher Dan Straily from the A's last July in the deal that sent Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the A's.
