Pirates manager Clint Hurdle announced Saturday that right-hander Jameson Taillon will be the Bucs' Opening Day starter when they take on the Reds in Cincinnati on March 28.

Hurdle said Trevor Williams will start the Pirates' second game, followed by Joe Musgrove in the series finale and then Chris Archer in Pittsburgh's home opener against the Cardinals on April 1.
