The Pirates trail by 12 games in the division and 7.5 games in the wild card race, with 20 games left on the schedule.
Trevor Williams gets the start tonight. He has allowed a total of four earned runs over his last 54.2 innings. Two of those runs came in five innings against the Cardinals on August 5th, but since then he threw six shutout innings against St Louis on August 29th.
