The Pittsburgh Pirates fell in the series opener to the Milwaukee Brewers 6-0 on Tuesday night at PNC Park, leaving them just one game above .500.
The Bucs will turn to Kyle McPherson in hopes of turning this tide before it's too late. McPherson has only appeared in seven games for Pittsburgh this year. Each of those games the 24-year-old has been a reliever and succeeded in those contests with a 1.54 ERA.
Milwaukee's Marco Estrada will see a very different Pirates lineup than the one trotted out on Tuesday by Clint Hurdle.
Without further adieu, the lineups for both sides:
Milwaukee
- Norichika Aoki (L) RF
- Rickie Weeks (R) 2B
- Ryan Braun (R) LF
- Aramis Ramirez (R) 3B
- Jonathan Lucroy (R) C
- Taylor Green (L) 1B
- Carlos Gomez (R) CF
- Jean Segura (R) SS
- Marco Estrada (R) P
Pittsburgh
- Brock Holt (L) 2B
- Starling Marte (R) LF
- Andrew McCutchen (R) CF
- Garrett Jones (L)1B
- Pedro Alvarez (L) 3B
- Michael McKenry (R) C
- Travis Snider (L) RF
- Clint Barmes (R) SS
- Kyle McPherson (R) P
