The Pittsburgh Pirates (26-26) take on the Cincinnati Reds (25-29) tonight in game three of a four-game series. The Pirates are sending out Jordan Lyles for his tenth start today. He allowed six runs over 5.2 innings in his last outing. That followed one run and 12 strikeouts over seven innings in his previous game. He faced the Reds on April 4th and threw five shutout innings. The Reds will counter with Lucas Sims, a 25-year-old right-hander, who will be making his 2019 debut. He has faced the Pirates once in his brief MLB career (ten starts and 13 relief appearances). Last September he threw 1.2 shutout innings in relief against Pittsburgh.

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.
