The Pittsburgh Pirates (42-45) take on the Milwaukee Brewers (47-42) for three games at PNC Park this weekend, with game three taking place this afternoon at 1:35 PM. The Pirates will send out Joe Musgrove today for the final game before the All-Star break. He went three shutout innings in his last start, leaving early due to a long rain delay. His previous outing was six shutout innings against the Houston Astros, which followed one run over seven frames against the San Diego Padres.
The Brewers will counter with veteran right-hander Chase Anderson, who has a 4.31 ERA in 62.2 innings, with 63 strikeouts and a 1.29 WHIP. He gave up two runs over 5.2 innings in his previous start. That followed one run over 5.1 innings against the Seattle Mariners. Anderson has faced the Pirates twice, allowing a total of four runs over 11 innings.
Kevin Kramer joined the Pirates today.
It looks like Steven Brault will miss more than just ten days, but Corey Dickerson sounds like he’s available today in an emergency situation (meaning he is very unlikely to play today).
#Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said that he expects Dario Agrazal to make the fifth start of the second half on July 16, suggesting Steven Brault will miss more than just 10 days.
