The Pittsburgh Pirates are hosting the NL Central rival Milwaukee Brewers for a three-game set at PNC Park.<\/p>\n
Getting the ball for the Brewers in the first matchup of the series is Cy Young candidate Jacob Misiorowski, who is putting together quite the season for the Brewers. Misiorowski is 14-5 and has led the team to victory in each of his last six starts, dating back to August 9. In his previous outing against the Chicago Cubs, Misiorowski went 6.1 innings, giving up four hits and one earned run, but the offense struggled to support him.<\/p>\n
The Pirates are turning to their bullpen by handing the ball to Lake Bachar to start this contest against the Brewers. Bachar has been an opener in five of his 10 appearances with the team since being acquired in a trade with the Miami Marlins last month. In his last outing against the Chicago White Sox on September 9, Bachar pitched 1.2 innings, giving up two hits and no earned runs.<\/p>\n
With 12 games left on the schedule, the Pirates are hoping to reach the .500 mark, which hasn\u2019t been achieved since 2018. It will be tough with the Brewers in town, but they swept them earlier in the year at PNC Park, so they will attempt for the same outcome.<\/p>\n
