Live Discussion: Pirates vs Brewers, 7:05 PM

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates (48-64) take on the Milwaukee Brewers (58-56) for three games at PNC Park, with game two tonight at 7:05 PM. The Pirates will send out Steven Brault, who last pitched in the majors on July 5th, giving up one run over four innings to the Brewers. He suffered a left shoulder strain in that outing. His previous start, which was one run over 4.2 innings, was also against the Brewers. Brault made a rehab start with Indianapolis five days ago in which he allowed two runs over four innings. The Brewers are countering with veteran right-hander Chase Anderson, who has a 3.73 ERA in 94 innings, with 90 strikeouts and a 1.20 WHIP. He faced the Pirates back on July 7th and allowed two runs over four innings. He also faced them in late May (two runs over five innings) and early June (two runs over six innings), so you can expect him to allow two runs tonight.

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.
