Today there will be a B-game at Pirate City, starting at 10 AM. The Pirates will actually be playing a game against the Minnesota Twins this time, and the game will last nine innings. I’ll have a live blog up later today.
Chris Leroux will start for the Pirates. Following Leroux are Duke Welker, Evan Meek, Jose Diaz, Mike Crotta and Daniel Cabrera.
The lineup for the Pirates:
1. Starling Marte CF
2. Josh Harrison SS
3. Nick Evans RF
4. Matt Hague 3B
5. Garrett Jones DH
6. Jeff Clement 1B
7. Robbie Grossman LF
8. Michael McKenry C
9. Jordy Mercer 2B
Pretty interesting lineup with Harrison at short and Hague at third.
The following pitchers will throw live bullpens this afternoon: Cesar Lopez, Yhonathan Herrand, Tyler Glasnow, Jimmy Hernandez, Casey Sadler, Victor Black, and Isaac Sanchez.
