The Pittsburgh Pirates (33-40) and the San Diego Padres (38-37) will play a three-game series at PNC Park, starting tonight at 7:05 PM. Joe Musgrove will get the start in the opener. He went just four innings in his last outing, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks versus the Atlanta Braves. That was three days after he was ejected in the first inning of a game against the Braves. Musgrove allowed three earned runs over 6.1 innings against San Diego back on May 19th.
The Padres will counter with 24-year-old lefty Eric Lauer, who has a 4.60 ERA in 74.1 innings, with 59 strikeouts and a 1.36 WHIP. He allowed five runs on ten hits in just 2.2 innings in his last start against the Colorado Rockies. He faced the Pirates back on May 16th and gave up one earned run over 5.2 innings.
