Two of the game’s premier sluggers will square off in Pittsburgh Friday when Josh Bell and the Pirates take on Cody Bellinger and the Dodgers.
Bellinger enters Friday tops in the N.L. in batting average (.394), on-base percentage (.478), OPS (1.243) and wRC+ (224). Bell isn’t too far behind the Dodgers’ prized lefty, sitting atop the RBI (47) and extra-base hit (33) leaderboards while nipping at Bellinger’s heels in average (.339, second in NL) and OPS (1.125, third in the senior circuit).
The Dodgers will start Walker Buehler (4-1, 3.83) while the Pirates counter with Michael Feliz (2-0, 4.63) in an opener role. Steven Brault (1-1, 8.24) will be the “featured” pitcher.
First pitch is at 7:05 p.m..
