The Pittsburgh Pirates (60-78) take on the Miami Marlins (49-88) for three games at PNC Park this week. The Pirates will send out Trevor Williams, who has a 5.26 ERA in 119.2 innings, with 90 strikeouts and a 1.39 WHIP. He has allowed three runs over his last 13 innings, including a seven inning outing in Colorado and six shutout innings against the Cincinnati Reds 11 days ago. Williams did not pitch when these two teams faced off earlier in the year in Miami. The Marlins are countering with 24-year-old right-hander Robert Dugger, who will be making his third big league start. He threw seven innings without an earned run on Thursday against the Reds in his last start, which followed six earned runs over five innings versus the New York Mets in his pro debut back on August 5th.
