The Pittsburgh Pirates (13-18) take on the Cincinnati Reds (8-24) on Friday night in game two of a four-game series at PNC Park, starting at 6:35 PM. Mitch Keller (0-4, 6.11) will be on the mound against right-hander Tyler Mahle (1-4, 6.46), in a battle of two pitchers off to slow starts this season.
The Pirates claimed Tyler Beede off of waivers yesterday. He was added to the active roster for tonight’s game and Cam Alldred was optioned to Indianapolis to make room. Alldred tossed a scoreless inning last night in his big league debut.
The Pirates lost Sam Howard on waivers earlier today.
