With the series knotted at one game a piece, the Pirates feature Chris Archer (3-6, 5.73 ERA) in a duel with Sandy Alcantara (3-6, 3.67) this afternoon in Marlins Park
Pittsburgh have outscored Miami 14-4 in this series.
The last time the Pirates had Archer on the mound, he gave up five home runs to the Atlanta Braves. His previous two starts gave some hope that he may have figured something out, but he’ll need a gem today to keep that optimism going.
Alcantara is 2-4 at home this year and posts a 3.25 ERA.
First pitch is 1:10 p.m. EST on ATT SportsNet.
