Pitchers: RHP Clay Holmes (0-1, 7.11) goes in game two against LHP Brent Suter (8-5, 4.53). This will be Holmes second MLB start; he was bent, folded and mutilated by the Dodgers, and we'll see if that was butterflies or not today. He was effective in a couple of earlier relief outings and command will be his key. Holmes hasn't worked against Milwaukee. In Suter's last two outings, he's given up nine runs in 11 IP on 15 hits, but he hasn't worked since July 2nd, when he went on the DL with forearm tightness. He's worked two scoreless innings of relief against Pittsburgh this year and been good against them in his career. Suter has tossed eight times (three starts) against the Bucs since 2016 and gone 1-0/1.80 against them.

Lineup: Josh Harrison 2B, Starling Marte CF, Gregory Polanco RF, David Freese 3B, J-Bell 1B, Jordan Luplow LF, Jake Stallings C, Max Moroff SS & Holmes P. Second game of a twin bill, lefty on the hill...pretty much as expected.
Notes:
- Clay Holmes is the 26th man today, so no other roster move is needed; he'll be on the roster for just today.
- Starling's hitting streak is at 10 games.
