In a rematch of last Wednesday’s 7-4 Pirates victory in Pittsburgh, Joe Musgrove (4-6, 4.44) will face off against Kevin Gausman (2-5, 6.15) this time at SunTrust Park in Cobb County, Georgia. First pitch is at 7:20 p.m. Eastern.
In that Game, the Pirates battered Gausman for seven runs on twelve hits in just five innings. Elias Diaz and Colin Moran both homered.
Gausman pitched well for the Braves after being acquired last year from the Orioles at the trade deadline, putting up a 2.87 ERA in ten starts, but to date has a 4.51 ERA with the Braves in 22 starts.
