Starling Marte was activated from the paternity list earlier in the day, and will be in the starting lineup tonight, as the Pirates look to take three of four games against the Braves. To make room for Marte, Alen Hanson was sent back to AAA Indianapolis. Hanson, made the most of his opportunity in the bigs, getting his first career MLB hit, and scored his first run.
Jeff Locke will take the mound for the Bucs, and will look to improve upon a rough outing his last time out.
