After an off day yesterday, the Pirates begin their post-Adam Frazier era with a three-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The team went 2-4 on its road trip, losing three to the MLB-worst Diamondbacks, but winning two of three against the MLB-best Giants.
If the Pirates can continue this trend of playing up to its competition, then this week should be a good series for the Pirates as they go up against the NL Central-leading Brewers.
As of publication, the Brewers have only announced Brett Anderson as a starter for Tuesday night’s game. He’ll face Tyler Anderson in a battle of the Andersons. With Tyler on the trade block, this is likely the final audition for other teams as they send in their best offers for the veteran starter.
This series will be the first test without their strongest hitter this season, which will likely put the Pirates in a tough position to win these games, but that’s why you play the games on the field and not on paper.
