The Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to continue their improbable run in 2012 into the second half of the season, as their first challenge after the all-star break will be a three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. James McDonald is getting the start for the Pirates, where he will look to prove that his first half was no fluke, while his mound opponent, Zack Greinke is becoming the first player since 1917 to start three consecutive games.
