One of the most unique things about spring training is that there are certain days that teams have split-squad games. On these days, the Pittsburgh Pirates have two games scheduled against two different opponents. This allows the team to get more players involved in game action. Well, the Pittsburgh Pirates are having a split-squad day today.
Today, the Pittsburgh Pirates will have two teams playing. The first team will take on the Philadelphia Phillies. Former top 10 prospect Nick Kingham will head to the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies. In the other game, new Pittsburgh Pirates major league ready prospect Rookie Davis will make his Pittsburgh Pirates début against the Blue Jays.
