The Rockies come to town

The drill for this series is much the same as the last: the Pirates are playing bad teams at a point in the season where wins are at a premium. There is no reason for the Pirates to not win two or three games against the Rockies at PNC Park this weekend, and if they’re lucky, doing that will make up some ground on the Cardinals for them.

Francisco Liriano starts for the Bucs tonight against Jon Gray. Jung Ho Kang is back in the lineup at third base and batting cleanup. Jordy Mercer and Neil Walker join him in the infield. First pitch is at 7:05.
