Lineup: Adam Frazier 2B, Starling Marte LF, Cutch CF, Josh Bell 1B, David Freese 3B, Gregory Polanco RF, Elias Diaz C, Max Moroff SS, Trevor Williams P. Good time to get Fraze infield time; we know that's passable as an outfielder. We still don't understand why J-Bell can't get a blow.

Pitchers: Trevor Williams (6-9, 4.18) serves 'em up against Kevin Gausman (11-10, 4.61) Trevo will be making his 24th start, coming off a tough 1-0 loss to the Brewers Tuesday night (5.0ip/3h/1r/1er/2bb/6so)...Has allowed just one run in his last 20 innings of work over his last three home starts...Is 1-5 in his last seven outings despite giving up more than three earned runs just twice in that span. Williams has never faced the Orioles. Gausman has slashed 6-3/2.26 since July 19th. Like Trevo, his last outing was a 1-0 loss, although he was in the shower before it was decided after working eight scoreless frames. He went 6-2/3 IP in a no-decision against the Pirates in June, giving up four runs on eight hits in a game Baltimore won 6-5.
Notes:
- Baltimore is 12-6 against Pittsburgh in interleague play, with the Pirates owning a 5-3 mark at PNC Park. The Birds took a pair in extra innings at Camden Yards in June.
- Pedro Alvarez was called up by Charm City in September; he's hitting .286 (six-for-21) with a homer.
- The Pirates visit Washington for four games after this quick set; neither the Bucs nor Nats have determined who is pitching yet.
- The PNC 50-50 raffle pots for the last two games will be used for Puerto Rican hurricane relief, w/Pirates Charities matching the amount raised.
- The Dodgers have acquired OF/1B Connor Joe from the Braves for international bonus pool space. Joe was a 2014 first-round pick of the Pirates who was sent to Atlanta for S-Rod last month.
- The D-backs have sewn up the home Wildcard game, opponent TBD.
