The Pittsburgh Pirates will go for a four-game sweep against the Cincinnati Reds today. My hope in this game is that they get out to an early lead, to allow recently promoted Drew Maggi to get a chance to get in the action for his MLB debut.
Maggi was promoted earlier today as a temporary replacement for Bryan Reynolds, who is on the Bereavement List. Maggi was drafted by the Pirates in 2010, and has spent parts of 13 seasons with a few different organizations around the game. After 1154 games in the minors, this could be his first chance to appear in an MLB game.
