The Pittsburgh Pirates (53-75) take on the Cincinnati Reds (60-67) in a weekend series at PNC Park, with game two tonight at 7:05 PM. The Pirates will send out Trevor Williams for his 20th start. In four starts this month, he has a 10.00 ERA in 18 innings. Williams faced Cincinnati in his first two starts of the season, throwing six shutout innings in his debut, followed by three earned runs over six innings in his second start. The Reds will counter with 28-year-old lefty Alex Wood, who has a 5.92 ERA in 24.1 innings, with 21 strikeouts and a 1.52 WHIP. He has made just five starts this season after missing more than half of the year with a back injury. Wood allowed four runs over five innings to the St Louis Cardinals in his last start.

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.
