Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates (4-3) take on the Cincinnati Reds (1-7) on Sunday afternoon at PNC Park. Chris Archer will be on the mound for his second start. He threw five shutout innings and struck out eight batters against the St Louis Cardinals during the home opener earlier this week. The Reds are sending out right-hander Anthony DeSclafani, who allowed one run over five innings in his season debut against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Here are the lineups:

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.
