The Pittsburgh Pirates (30-32) take on the Milwaukee Brewers (36-28) for three games at Miller Park this weekend. The Pirates will send out Jordan Lyles for his 12th start of the season today in game two of the series. His last start came against the Brewers six days ago and he allowed four runs over six innings. Lyles has given up 13 runs over his last 15.2 innings. The Brewers will counter with right-hander Zach Davies, who has a 2.20 ERA in 69.2 innings, with 45 strikeouts and a 1.22 WHIP. Davies opposed Lyles in that last start and allowed two runs over eight innings. His prior outing was six shutout innings. He has a 2.70 ERA in five home starts.
The Pirates made some roster changes prior to the game.
Some other news from today:
Trevor Williams threw four innings in a sim game this morning, and it went well. Next step is a rehab start.
Chris Stratton also pitched one inning in the sim game and reported back feeling good.
