Tuesday: Cahill v Miley; Lineup Shuffle

Today's Game: The contest v the Reds starts at 6:40 and will be on AT&T SportsNet PIT2 & 93.7 The Fan.

Lineup: Adam Frazier 2B; Kevin Newman SS; Bryan Reynolds LF; Colin Moran 1B; Phil Evans RF; Jake Stallings 3B, Erik Gonzalez 3B, Tony Alford CF, Trevor Cahill P. Gregory gets swapped out for Phil the Thrill in right, E-Gon starts at the hot corner and Alford in center (which may belong to Reynolds/Jared Oliva by default by the end of the month).

Pitchers: RHP Trevor Cahill crosses swords with LHP Wade Miley. Cahill signed late and isn't fully stretched out; he's worked just two outings & 3-2/3 rusty frames in the spring. He's only started against Chicago four times, the last in 2019.  Miley had a hamstring issue late in camp, but has worked it out and is ready to go. He only spun 14 IP in 2020, but will be making his 11th career start against Pittsburgh with a 2-3/3.98 line posted.

Notes:

  • The Home Opener Thursday at PNC Park is sold out, although unclaimed orders may become available closer to game time. The Pirates are sticking to 25% capacity through April.
  • The ASG has been officially moved to Coors Field. MLB did not specifically state that the draft would also relocate there, although we assume that's a given.

Tomorrow's Game: It's a 12:35 getaway day before the Bucs Home Opener, and will be on AT&T SportsNet & MLB Network (out of market), with radio coverage on 100.1 FM/1020 KDKA AM. The opposing twirlers are righties Chad Kuhl and Luis Castillo.
