The Pittsburgh Pirates (20-14) take on the Toronto Blue Jays (20-14) in the finale of a three-game series on Sunday afternoon at PNC Park, with first pitch at 1:35 PM.
Roansy Contreras (3-2, 4.09) takes on 31-year-old lefty Yusei Kikuchi (4-0, 4.02), who is making his seventh start of the season.
There could be some rain today, so that start time is tentative.
Once again, Andrew McCutchen is out of the lineup (see below)
The Colorado Rockies come into town for three games, starting tomorrow.
UPDATE: This game will not be starting on time. Also, Ben Cherington said that he believes Vince Velasquez is a short-term issue and he won’t miss much time. As for right now, he said Tuesday’s starter is still TBA.
