Gameday 122: Pirates look to build off snapping losing streak
Bailey Falter vs Luis Castillo
After snapping their 10-game losing streak, the Pittsburgh Pirates will look to build off just their second win in August with a day game against the Mariners.
Oneil Cruz hit a two-run double but left with an ankle injury. The Pirates are bringing Alika Williams up from Indianapolis just in case Cruz cannot play.
Yasmani Grandal hit his fifth home run of the season, and David Bednar closed the game out after Paul Skenes pitched six innings of two-run ball.
The Pirates will send Bailey Falter to the mound, who will be opposed by Luis Castillo of the Mariners.
