Mark Redman (4-4, 2.80) vs. Kevin Brown (4-6, 5.43). Game one of the Pirates' series at Yankee Stadium didn't go so well, but this one might turn out better. Brown barely resembles the Kevin Brown of old. His recent shoulder problems caused him to miss his last start, against the Cardinals. Even when he's been healthy/"healthy", he has been bad; he has only had two really good starts all year, and one of those was against an A's team that wasn't hitting anything at the time.
