This will be the third straight time that AJ Burnett starts a game with the Pirates on a two-game losing streak. Because the Pirates have elected to go with a six-man rotation, Burnett hasn’t pitched since Sunday and won’t pitch again until next Friday. I guess he better get his money’s worth tonight.
Jason Marquis goes for the Padres. First pitch tonight is at 7:05.
