Pirates Preview: Bucs try and rebound after shutout-loss to Cardinals

Bucs look to avoid going 0-3

After a tough 23-0 loss at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals in week 2, the Pittsburgh Pirates will look to get back on track when they host the Milwaukee Brewers at PNC Park on Friday night. The Pirates are now 1-2 on the young season, while the Brewers are 2-1.

Bucs offense has struggled to produce runs

One of the biggest issues for the Pirates so far this season has been their inability to score runs. They have scored just three runs in their first three games, and they have yet to hit a home run. The Pirates will need to find a way to generate more offense if they want to be successful this season.

Brewers have been a tough opponent for Pirates

The Brewers have been a tough opponent for the Pirates in recent years, winning 10 of the last 13 meetings between the two teams. The Pirates will need to play their best game of the season if they want to beat the Brewers on Friday night.

Pirates will start JT Brubaker on the mound

JT Brubaker will get the start on the mound for the Pirates on Friday night. Brubaker has been solid in his first two starts of the season, allowing just two earned runs in 10 innings pitched. He will be opposed by Corbin Burnes, who is one of the best pitchers in the National League.

Game time and broadcast information

The game will start at 7:05 p.m. ET on Friday night and will be televised on AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh. You can also listen to the game on 93.7 The Fan.
