The Pittsburgh Pirates (28-29) are home to take on the Milwaukee Brewers (33-26) for four games. The Pirates are sending out Jordan Lyles for the finale this afternoon. He left his last start early due to left hamstring discomfort, though his pitch count was already high after giving up three runs over four innings against the Cincinnati Reds. Lyles had a 3.68 ERA in five May starts. The Brewers will counter with 26-year-old right-handed pitcher Zach Davies, who has a 2.19 ERA in 61.2 innings, with 42 strikeouts and a 1.23 WHIP. He threw six shutout innings in his last start, after giving up six runs over three innings in his previous outing. Davies has not allowed more than two runs in any of his other ten starts.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
