The Pirates and Guardians play a day/night doubleheader on Saturday after their game on Friday was postponed
The Pittsburgh Pirates take on the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday in a day/night doubleheader. The two teams were supposed to play on Friday night, but had their game postponed due to the air quality from the smoke coming from fires in Canada. The Pirates finished the first half of the season on a three-game winning streak as they swept the Milwaukee Brewers at home. Those three wins have pushed their record to 50-47 on the season and have them just a game and a half back of the St. Louis Cardinals for third place in the NL Central. In the first game of the doubleheader, the Pirates will send Jared Jones to the mound. He is 1-1 with a 4.37 ERA on the season. In the nightcap, they will turn to Braxton Ashcraft on the bump. He comes into the game 9-3 with a 3.49 ERA on the season.
