The Pittsburgh Pirates (22-20) are in San Diego to take on the Padres (23-22) for four games. The Pirates will send out Montana DuRapau to start game three tonight. His highest pitch count this season is 38 back on April 28th and he hasn’t gone more than two innings in an appearance this year, so expect to see a lot of bullpen work. The Padres will send out 22-year-old lefty Nick Margevicius, who has a 4.14 ERA in 41.1 innings, with 31 strikeouts and a 1.28 WHIP. He gave up five runs over five innings in Colorado in his last start. In his last home start, Margevicius allowed three runs over 5.2 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

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.
