Pittsburgh at Philadelphia 7:05 ET
Phillies over Pirates- Pittsburgh's early season run may be coming to a halt in a big way as they have now dropped three of their last four after opening the season winning 11 of their last 15. The Pirates bats have gone silent getting shutout two of their last three games and their average of 5.2 runs per game is dropping quickly. Ivan Nova (2-1, 4.88 ERA) gets the nod for Pittsburgh and he was 1-1 with a 4.73 ERA against the Phillies last season while Ben Lively (0-1, 5.87) get the start for Philadelphia. The Phillies are 6-1 at home despite manager Gabe Kaplan's antics. Take the PHILLIES!
