Wednesday Game #2: Miguel Yajure v Spencer Turnbull

Today's Game: Game time at Comerica Park is 6:40 and the match will be on AT&T SportsNet & 93.7 The Fan.

Lineup: Adam Frazier 2B; Phil Evans 1B; Bryan Reynolds LF; Colin Moran DH; Erik Gonzalez SS; Gregory Polanco RF; Dustin Fowler CF; Rodolfo Castro 3B; Michael Perez C & Miguel Yajure P. Shelty *yay* keeping the hot bats together for game two.

Pitchers: RHP Miguel Yajure takes on RHP Spencer Turnbull. The 22-year-old Yajure had a good spring, and is today's 27th man. He'll be making his Pirates debut and first MLB start after coming to Pittsburgh as part of the Jamison Taillon deal with the Yankees. Turnbull is making his season debut after being on the COVID-19 IL, so don't expect him to go real deep today. He's been strong against Pittsburgh; in two career starts, he's given up two runs (one earned) in 13 IP on seven hits.

• Rodolfo Castro, just called up to replace Anthony Alford, is taking his MLB bow today at 3B.
• The Pirates have won 7-of-10; they'll be at .500 (9-9) if they win this evening's match.
