The 36 year old is 11-5/4.02 lifetime against the Buccos, but dropped his last three outings v the Pirates, including two in April..

Today's Lineup - Gregory Polanco RF, Starling Marte LF, Cutch CF, Neil Walker 2B, Jung Ho Kang 3B, Pedro 1B, Fran Cervelli C, Jordy Mercer SS, Morton P.

Josh's turn to sit down, while Starling and The Kid play musical chairs with the cleanup spot.

• Charlie Morton is looking for a personal best five consecutive wins tonight (including his last 2014 outing). He last won four in row back in 2013. He's also never started a season 4-0.
• Fran Cervelli has reached base safely six times in his last eight plate appearances and has 19 hits in his last 42 at bats (.452 BA).
• Pedro's last 11 homers have all been solo shots; he hasn't gone deep with a runner on since August of last season.
• Cutch is moving up in the All-Star balloting, climbing to fifth place in fan voting for the game. He still has a ways to go, but he's starting to get some ballot love. Starling Marte is further down the boards despite a strong showing out of the gate, registering at 15th.
