The Pittsburgh Pirates will have a chance to punch back in Friday’s matchup with the Philadelphia Phillies after they fell just short in Thursday’s opener.
After another dominant outing by Zack Wheeler, the Phillies led 8-2 entering the ninth inning. However, Pittsburgh would rally for five runs, then have the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position before reliever SerAnthony Dominguez put out the fire.
Tonight, ace Jose Quintana will get the ball for the Pirates. Quintana has had a career renaissance this season and is rightfully one of the hottest names on the market ahead of the trade deadline. This very well could be his final showcase in a Pittsburgh uniform, and he’s in line to make it a good start.
Opposing Quintana will be fellow left-hander Bailey Falter. He has been relied on by Philadelphia for multiple starts. However, the club’s trust hasn’t been met with much success and his outlook for this outing isn’t so bright either.
