Today's Game: Game time is 7:10 and the contest will be aired by AT&T SportsNet & 93.7 The Fan.
Lineup: Kevin Newman SS; Phil Evans RF; Bryan Reynolds LF; Colin Moran 1B; Jake Stallings C; Erik Gonzalez 3B; Adam Frazier 2B; Anthony Alford CF; Trevor Cahill P. Shelty's lefty lineup. If you're wondering why K-Man and Fraze switch spots against southpaws; it's because of lifetime stat lines: Newman has a .362 OBP/118 OPS+ against lefties while Frazier's slash is .307/74, so the skipper is playing the ol' regression to the norm card.

Pitchers: RHP Trevor Cahill (0-1/8.00) takes on LHP Brett Anderson (1-1/4.50). Trevor has been Jekyll and Hyde; he was bombed in his first outing and spectacular in his second, so we'll see as he stretches out where the truth lies. History suggests he's a solid back ender, and that's what the Bucs are hoping is his floor. The vet has worked against the Crew 14 times, mainly as a reliever, and has been pretty effective in short outings with a 2-0/2.45 line. Anderson is a ground ball guy who has been bitten by the long fly this year, giving up three homers in 10 IP. He's been good against the Bucs in his six lifetime starts, going 3-1/3.45.
Tomorrow's Game: The Sunday getaway game starts at 2:10 and will be on AT&T SportsNet PITT2 channel and 93.7 The Fan. Chad Kuhl tackles Freddy Peralta in the finale.
