Gameday 110: Bailey Falter To Make Pirates Debut

Acquired for Rodolfo Castro, the lefty will make his Pirates debut today.

Yerry De Los Santos picked up the first win of his major league career after replacing Quinn Priester in the fifth inning. He struck out two while allowing a hit in the only inning he pitched on the night.

Both Alfonso Rivas (double) and Bryan Reynolds (triple) finished one hit shy of the cycle in the victory while Henry Davis hit his fifth home run of the season.

Tonight the Pirates will send Bailey Falter to the mound for the first time as a part of the organization, where he will face Corbin Burnes. A win tonight will put the Pirates in a position to pull out a rare series victory on the road in Milwaukee.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 pm ET.
