Game Thread: Pirates Go For Season Sweep of Rangers

The Pirates will go for their second mini-sweep of the Rangers in as many weeks Wednesday afternoon. Nick Kingham (1-0, 6.39) will make his first start of the season against Shelby Miller (1-2, 7.99).

The Pirates tagged Miller hard in his last start on May 1, scoring four times in 3.1 IP. Kingham has an ugly ERA so far, but his 3.54 FIP is far more encouraging, though it is over a sample size of just 12.2 IP.

Melky Cabrera will get the start in left, batting second.
