Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates won their last game against the Orioles after smashing nine runs from the plate. From the pitching end, they gave up only three to Baltimore. Pittsburgh seems to be improving their performance but it is not enough for their regular season. The Pirates will turn in Zach Thompson as their starting pitcher in this game. Thompson is pretty new to the Pirates pitching squad and they need more support from the plate.
