The Pirates have faded recently, and they suffered an exasperating 5-1 loss against the last-place Astros on Monday, but they're still just 2.5 games back in the N.L. Wild Card race, and they can really use a win from Wandy Rodriguez against his former team. They'll have to get through Jordan Lyles, a promising 21-year-old starter who's struggling through his first full season.
For the Pirates, Alex Presley mans left field, while Michael McKenry starts at catcher over the execrable Rod Barajas.
