1. Adam Frazier (L) LF

2. Josh Harrison (R) 2B

3. John Jaso (L) RF

4. David Freese (R) 3B

5. Francisco Cervelli (R) C

6. Andrew McCutchen (R) CF

7. Jose Osuna (R) 1B

8. Jordy Mercer (R) SS

9. Chad Kuhl (R) P

Slumping Bell gets a day off. Osuna at 1B. Jaso hitting 3rd? I guess someone has to. At least he's been hitting better lately. Zack Godley, 1.99 ERA vs Chad Kuhl, 6.29 ERA.

Is this Kuhl's "Jeff Locke" game? Meaning, he is on the ropes and a good performance will keep him in the rotation.

Kuhl gives up a double, then walks the next guy on five pitches. Then strikes out the next three. I don't really like that strategy, but it worked!

Boy, the Pirates offense is such a struggle.

Tied up. McCutchen doubled (probably should have been an error. Osuna hit a double to knock him in. Polanco pinch hit single.

Glasnow pinch running for Polanco. He must still be sore.

Hudson gives the 2 runs right back.

Cutch again with a solid hit NOT pulled.

2 for 3 on the day so far!

Josh Bell got inserted into the game on a double switch. Has that ever happened before?

I thought Hurdle said he was going to remove Hudson from situations that mattered. Wish he hadn't changed his mind.
