The Bucs are 12-1 in Liriano's last 13 starts, and they have won their last nine games that he has started at home.
Clint Hurdle spoke yesterday about giving some players rest with the off-day on Monday and the upcoming doubleheader on Tuesday. Gregory Polanco is the guy getting rest today, with Travis Snider getting his second start since re-joining the Pirates in right field.
