Live Game Discussion: Pirates vs Brewers, 7:05 PM

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates (2-3) take on the Milwaukee Brewers (2-3) on Wednesday night in the finale of their three-game series at PNC Park. Joe Musgrove will make his second start of the season, while the Brewers will counter with right-hander Brandon Woodruff. Musgrove allowed three runs over 5.2 innings in his season debut on Friday. Woodruff allowed two runs over five innings against the Chicago Cubs in his season opener.

A minor prospect note. Deon Stafford was added to the Altoona training site recently, taking the catching spot left vacated after Luke Maile went in the 60-day IL and John Ryan Murphy joined the Pirates.

Here are the lineups:

In some Pittsburgh Baseball Network site news, Tim Williams asked me to share the following: I’m finalizing things on PBN, and will be checking in periodically in the comments tonight, perhaps with some previews for the site.

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.
