For just the second time this year, the Pirates will face a left-handed starter, this time Jon Lester of the Cubs. Lester lasted only three and a third innings in his first start this year, against the hapless Marlins. The second time out, though, he threw six shutout innings against Milwaukee. The Pirates counter with Steven Brault, who’s won both of his outings so far, one start and one relief appearance. Game time is 8:05pm ET.
