Pitching Match-Up
Pittsburgh: Nick Kingham (1-0 0.00 ERA)
Milwaukee: Junior Guerra (2-1 0.82 ERA)
Kingham made his Major League debut in his last start, and it was a great one retiring the first 20 batters he faced and tossing seven scoreless innings allowing one hit in a 5-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. In four starts in AAA before being called up to the big club, Kingham was 2-1 with a scintillating ERA of 1.59.
In Guerra’s last start he was solid only giving up one earned run on three hits in six innings, but go no support in a 3-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers had won his first three starts to the season where he went 15 innings allowing one earned run. Milwaukee has lost four of Guerra’s last five home starts against a team with a winning record. In his previous five starts against the Pirates, the total has gone UNDER in each match.
