Morning Report: Nick Kingham Takes the Mound Tonight in Must-Win Game

The playoffs yesterday showed a nice glimpse of the future for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as Tyler Glasnow allowed one run on two hits over six innings and Mitch Keller gave up one hit and two walks over nine shutout innings. Unfortunately for Indianapolis, they went down 2-0 in a best-of-five series, so they need to win these next three nights to advance to championship round.

That would make tonight's start for Nick Kingham a fairly big game as far as minor league games are concerned. I said I'd rather see him in the majors back in August because he needs big league experience going into next year, but no use harping on it at this point.
