Bucs Dugout · May 7, 2019
Series Preview: Rangers at Pirates
Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports The Pirates (16-15) needed six and seven runs, respectively, to outscore the Rangers (16-16) in a pair of games in Texas last week. Now, dealing with some injuries, the Bucs will send Steven Brault and Nick Kingham to the hill to face the league’s highest-scoring offense a week later, albeit in a more pitcher-friendly environment. Texas will send the same two starters, Adrian Sampson and Shelby Miller, who faced the Pirates in the previous series.
The Pirates have won four of five, including the pair at Texas last week. After that they took two of three from the Athletics.
