The Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies face off on Friday in an MLB game at Citizens Bank Park.
The Pirates come into this game with a 47-77 record overall and they have lost five games in a row. In the last game against the Atlanta Braves, the Pirates pitching again was a big issue giving up 14 runs and that led to the 12 run defeat. The Pirates overall has been an issue and they are averaging 3.58 runs per game which is 28th in the league. In this game, if the Pirates want any chance to win the game, the offense needs to be good.
On the other side of this matchup is the Phillies who sit with a 70-55 record overall and on Thursday it was the pitching that was the difference on the way to the easy victory. The Phillies pitching overall has been pretty strong giving up 4.04 runs per game. The offense is also ranked 7th in the league. The big news for the Phillies heading into this game is they will be getting Bryce Harper back in this game.
