Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates are trying to get even in the series on Saturday before, what they hope is, the rubber match on Sunday. Joe Musgrove will start against Tanner Roark.
Musgrove turned 26 in December and had a decent first season with Pittsburgh after coming over in a deal with Houston over a year ago. He went just 6–9 but finished with about a league-average ERA. He also put up 7.8 Ks/9 and walked just 1.8.

The outfield is Pittsburgh’s strength except both Starling Marte and Gregory Polanco are out at the start of this season. Marte missed Opening Day because of a migraine and he should be back soon; Polanco is still recovering from a back injury he suffered last season, though it’s thought he’ll return by the end of April.
In the meantime, Corey Dickerson will hold down the fort. He homered in his first game of the season on Thursday.
Cincinnati Reds
Sonny Gray will make his Reds debut on Saturday. Tanner Roark follows him on Sunday.
He played six seasons in Washington, though the first was abbreviated. In the final five, he failed to reach 180 innings just once, topping out at 210 in 2016. He was known as a bulldog for simply getting through six innings, even on days he didn’t have his best stuff.

He finished 10th in the Cy Young voting in 2016 and gave up an average of 7.4 hits per nine innings. In the two subsequent seasons, he gave up 8.8 and 9.0, respectively.
Cincinnati only had to give him $10 million for a one-year deal so the Reds aren’t locked in to anything big. It was a reasonable course of action for a franchise starving for reliable big league arms.
