Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Miami: Dan Straily (4-4, 3.59 ERA)<br />
Pittsburgh: Trevor Williams (3-3, 4.57 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Dan Straily gets the nod for the Pirates today and in his last start he went seven innings and gave up three earned runs, but did not get much help in a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs. However, the Pittsburgh lineup did help him out in winning his previous three starts where they totaled 28 runs and he gave up seven earned runs in 16 innings. In 11 career appearances, including eight starts, against the Pirates Straily is 3-3 with an ERA of 3.83 and this will be his first start facing them this season. The Marlins are only 1-5 in Straily’s last 6 starts when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game.
</p>
<p>
Trevor Williams goes for the Pirates and he had a strong last outing going seven innings and only giving up one earned run in an 11-1win over the New York Mets. Pittsburgh has won his last three starts where he has given up five earned runs in 18 innings. Williams has given up one run in each of his last two starts. He faced Miami earlier this season and came out of the bullpen taking the loss going two innings and giving up a run in a 10-3 Pittsburgh loss. Williams is a rookie and after getting shelled in his first start of the season he has not given up more than three earned runs in any of his last five starts. He did face the Marlins in relief this season and this will be his first career start facing them.
