On the other side of this matchup is the Pirates who have really struggled all season and a big reason is because of their offense. In the previous four games the Pirates had only scored 11 runs total. Even though they were able to win on Tuesday, the offense still didn’t look great.Erik Gonzalez has been the best Pirates player all season. With the way the Pirates offense is, when they find success, it usually has to be because they get a good pitching performance.

JT Brubaker will get the start for the Pittsburgh Pirates and coming into this game he sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 3.96.
