Game Thread: Pirates vs Indians, 8/18/20

The Pirates take on the Cleveland Indians tonight in the first of a three-game series at PNC Park. The first pitch will be thrown at 7:05 p.m. and will be broadcast on AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh.

With the Bucs schedule having been interrupted by COVID-19 (again), JT Brubaker(0-0, 3.38 ERA, 9 K) will take the hill against the Tribe tonight. He’s pitched eight innings in the Show so far, with three walks to go along with his eight strikeouts. Derek Shelton and Oscar Marin will probably let him go at least four innings or more unless he runs into trouble PLEASE DON’T LET THAT BE A JINX KTHX.
