Jameson Taillon (4-5, 3.94) takes the hill as the Pirates, winner of four of their last five games, try to make up more ground against the visiting division leaders, the Milwaukee Brewers.
After losing the opener last night by a score of 1-0, the Brewers send out their rookie sensation Freddy Peralta (1-0, 3.72) who’ll be making only his third start in the major leagues. However, the right-hander who just turned 22, had a memorable debut against the Rockies on May 13, striking out 13 in 5 2⁄3 scoreless innings. His second start sic days later was not as kind as he walked six and allowed four runs in four innings.
