The Pittsburgh Pirates have lost 3 in a row but had the day off yesterday to gather their bearings and tonight they will host the Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park. Pittsburgh’s ace, Gerrit Cole, will tap the rubber tonight for the Pirates. Cole is 11-8, with a 3.99 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP in 167 innings of work and last faced the Reds on Saturday where he threw 7 scoreless innings in a 1-0 Pirates win. Cincinnati will send Luis Castillo to the hill. Castillo is 2-7, with a 3.26 ERA, and a 1.14 WHIP in 77.1 innings of work. The Reds are 24-41 on the road. Pirates should get this one.
