Who will start for the Pirates in the Marlins series?
The first set of Pittsburgh Pirates starters has been unveiled.
On Wednesday, the Pirates announced who will follow Paul Skenes on Opening Day.
Skenes is making his first Opening Day start Thursday in Miami against the Marlins, facing right-hander Sandy Alcantara.
Mitch Keller, who started the first game of the season the previous two years, will start game two against righty Connor Gillispie.
In a rotation with two left-handers, Bailey Falter will get the ball first on Saturday, opposing Valente Bellozo.
Free-agent lefty Andrew Heaney will follow on Sunday opposite former top-five pick and top prospect Max Meyer.
