...but he isn’t starting.
Meanwhile, the studly one Trevor Williams (6-9, 4.18) faces right hander Kevin Gausman (11-10, 4.61)
Gausman is a hard thrower averaging 95.0 on his four-seam fastball, which he uses 70% of the time, while mixing in a splitter 15% and slider 13%. He averages a tick over 8 K’s per 9 innings, but almost a homer a start, with 28 long balls surrendered last year and 27 this year.
The Orioles have three September rookie call-ups in the lineup at centerfield, rightfield and catcher. Max Moroff will spell Jordy Mercer at shortstop for the Pirates.
