The Pirates begin their third series of the year against the Reds Monday night. Here's what to expect in Cincinnati.
Game times and probables
Monday, 7:10: Jon Niese vs. Dan Straily
Tuesday, 7:10: Juan Nicasio vs. Alfredo Simon
Wednesday, 7:10: Francisco Liriano vs. Tim Adleman
The other two members of the Reds' rotation are Brandon Finnegan and Jake Lamb, and they're by far the most interesting ones. The Reds didn't head into Spring Training planning to have Straily, Simon or Adleman in their rotation. Losing Homer Bailey, Anthony DeSclafani, Raisel Iglesias, Jon Moscot and Michael Lorenzen to injury has forced them to scramble.
