Game Preview

 

After being taken down by the Houston Astros in their one-game makeup a few days ago, The New York Yankees start their 6-day road trip. They’ll be facing the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 2-game interleague series at PNC Park.

 

The Pirates are far from looking like a good team, they are on a 32-47 record, putting them 12 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central division.

Unluckily for them, they are going up against the Yankees, the team with the best winning record in the whole MLB right now. Another thing to keep in mind is that New York has lost a couple of games recently and they are about to unleash their wrath on Pittsburgh.

 

The Pittsburgh Pirates are sending out José Quintana as their starting pitcher, who is making his 16th appearance of the season. His numbers might not look that great, but he’s been performing better with the Pirates compared to his time with the Angels and the Giants.

 

The 33-year-old carries a 1-4 record with a 3.43 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP over 76 innings pitched. Across his last 2 outings, he’s allowed 3 runs on 10 hits, which is impressive considering that he’s thrown for 6 innings both times.

 

Today Jameson Taillon is going to make his 16th start of the season for the New York Yankees. The former Pirates pitcher is holding a 9-1 record with a 3.32 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 84 innings pitched.

 

He made his last appearance on Wednesday, when he picked up the win against the Oakland Athletics after pitching 5 innings and giving up 3 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks while striking out 6.

The 30-year-old righty has won his 9 past decisions in a row, which means his only loss comes from opening day. He is about to face his old team, which means that he is not going easy in this game.
