Gameday 104: Pittsburgh Pirates Look To Rebound Against Phillies

After dropping the first game of their weekend set, the Pirates look to rebound with Quinn Priester on the mound.

The Pirates lost the first of three against the Philadelphia Phillies, despite a decent rebound game from Mitch Keller, who went 5.2 innings, allowing two runs - both on a Kyle Schwarber home run - while striking out eight batters.

Zack Wheeler was dominant for the Phillies, with only a rain delay seemingly able to slow him down, as he struck out 11 in 6.2 innings.

Stay tuned throughout the day for any news and updates as well as the lineups when they get posted.
