At 7:05 tonight the Pittsburgh Pirates will start a two-game home series against the Chicago White Sox. Tonight’s game will feature a pitching matchup that will be a rematch of last Wednesday’s 6-5 Pirate victory – Trevor Williams v. Reynaldo Lopez.
At first glance, it would appear that Williams is having an All-Star caliber season. After all, he owns a 3.13 ERA through his first eight starts. However, Williams has been playing with fire this season and this is something must change.
Williams owned an 8.1% walk rate last season, however, that number has spiked to 10.
