Willy v Wainwright

Game: The Pirates take on the Cards at Busch Stadium. Gametime is 2:15 and the contest will be on AT&T Sportsnet, MLB Network (out of market) and The Fan 93.7.

Lineup: Kevin Newman SS, Bryan Reynolds LF, Adam Frazier 2B, Josh Bell 1B, Colin Moran DH,  Phil Evans 3B, Guillermo Heredia CF, John Ryan Murphy C, Cole Tucker RF and Trevor Williams P. The lineup is shook up at the back end (Tuck in RF already?); guess we're gonna have to grow a feel for the way Shelty fills in his card.

Pitchers: RHP Trevor Williams goes against long-time Bucco foe RHP Adam Wainwright. Willy has been meh when facing St. Louis, with a 5-4/4.58 slash in 16 games (13 starts). Wainwright hasn't overwhelmed either. He's made 47 appearances (41 starts) v Pittsburgh and posted a 19-7/4.15 line. He hasn't owned the Pirates, but he's pretty good at finding ways to beat them.

Notes:
  • The injury front: the beat guys report that Gregory Polanco is working out and should be available sometime next week.
  • IF Erik Gonzalez and OF Jason Martin are the only two position players without a start - two games deep into the season!
