Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Pittsburgh: Ivan Nova (10-9, 3.87 ERA)<br />
Milwaukee: Zach Davies (13-6, 4.40 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Ivan Nova goes for the Pirates tonight and in his last outing he was lit up for six earned runs in six innings in a 10-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers. The Pirates have lost three of his last four starts where he has been lit up for 17 earned runs in the three losses. The Pirates are 1-1 in Nova’s two starts against the Brewers this season where he has gone 13 innings and given up seven earned runs. Nova had a good start to the season, but is 0-3 in his last four starts and since the All Star break he has an ERA of 6.67. Pittsburgh has lost four of his last five road starts against a team with a winning record and they have lost six of his last seven road starts overall.
</p>
<p>
Zach Davies gets the nod tonight and hopes for a better outing than his last one where he was roughed up giving up six earned runs in five innings in a 7-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins. The Brewers have lost two of his last three starts where he gave up nine earned runs in the losses, which were both at home. Milwaukee has lost both of Davies’ starts against the Pirates this season where he has lasted 12 innings and given up seven earned runs. However, his last start against them was a gem tossing seven scoreless innings, but the bullpen let him down. The Brewers are 15-6 in Davies’ last 21 starts and 6-1 in his last seven home starts against a team with a losing record.
