The Pittsburgh Pirates have dropped 13 of their last 15 games after taking a 9-7 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers Monday night.

Here the Pirates are asked to solve Milwaukee righty Chase Anderson (5-2, 3.73 ERA) who has limited them to six runs through 15 frames this season Anderson has allowed two or fewer earned runs in eight straight starts.

Pittsburgh counters with Steven Brault (3-1, 4.15 ERA) who is likely to be rusty in his first major league start since going on the injured list four weeks ago with a shoulder strain. Brault walked five, threw a wild pitch and gave up three hits and two runs in four-plus innings in his rehab assignment in Indianapolis on Thursday.

Brewers are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings. Brewers are 8-3 in Anderson's last 11 starts vs. Pirates.

8* play on Milwaukee Brewers.
