The Pittsburgh Pirates (56-77) will take on the Colorado Rockies (59-75) for four games at Coors Field. The Pirates will send out Trevor Williams in the series opener. He tossed six shutout innings against the Cincinnati Reds in his last start. That followed two outings in which he combined to give up 11 runs over seven innings, with 13 walks and eight strikeouts. Williams last pitched in Colorado on July 21, 2017 and allowed five runs over 6.2 innings. The Rockies will counter with 27-year-old right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez, who has a 6.43 ERA in 35 innings, with 20 strikeouts and a 1.63 WHIP. He has an 8.22 ERA in four August starts, and all of those starts have been on the road. He last pitched at home on July 15th, where he gave up two runs over five innings against the San Francisco Giants. His only other home start was two weeks earlier against the Los Angeles Dodgers and resulted in three runs over four innings.
