Game: It's a late getaway game, starting at 7:40. It will be aired by AT&T SportsNet & 93.7 The Fan.
Lineup: Erik Gonzalez SS, Adam Frazier LF, Kevin Newman 2B, Josh Bell DH, Colin Moran 1B, Jake Stallings C, Gregory Polanco RF, Jose Osuna 3B, Cole Tucker CF and Trevor Williams P. Talk about mix 'n' match - six of the nine starters have played multiple positions for the Bucs.

Pitchers: RHP Trevor Williams (1-5, 5.34) v LHP Brent Suter (2-0, 3.68). Willy was off to a solid start until the CWS pummeled him last time out to the tune of eight runs in six innings, launching three homers. He's thrown 90+ pitches in his last five starts, so he's stretched out, though it doesn't mean he goes deep into games, getting past the fifth just twice. This is his first outing against the Crew this year, but Trevor has been strong against them in his eight career appearances (seven starts) with a slash of 3-3/2.74. This will be Suter's first start of the year, and it will be a Brew Crew bullpen game, as he's only been back in the saddle since late July after TJ surgery. In two relief appearances against the Pirates this year, Suter has given up six runs (four earned) and six hits in 2-2/3 IP.
Notes:
- There were no Pirates trades today. That's not too surprising, considering how many guys are hurt and others underperforming. Fraze, Kela Keone and Big Joe were thought to have drawn some outside interest, but it's a tough sell with everyone sporting a red tag of some sort.
- The Bucs activated Colin Moran from the concussion IL and sent Will Craig back to the Altoona camp in a 1B swap.
- The press gang is reporting that 3B Ke'Bryan Hayes will be promoted to the big club and join the team in Pittsburgh tomorrow, although Ben Cherington wouldn't confirm the move.
- Miami dealt with Arizona for Starling Marte today. The Marlins’ outfield now consists of Marte, Corey Dickerson, and Matt Joyce. Sound familiar?
