The MLB schedulers stacked the beginning of the season with division games, as the Reds (1-4), looking to snap a four-game losing streak, will head to PNC Park in Pittsburgh to face the Pirates (1-3) for the second time in a week. First pitch will be at 7:05 ET.
Tyler Mahle makes his 2019 debut against a Pirates team that lost back-to-back home games against the St. Louis Cardinals after splitting a shortened opening series with the Reds.

For most of spring training, Mahle didn’t even know if he would make the major league roster for Opening Day.
