The Pittsburgh Pirates are fresh off a successful weekend in which they took two of three games against the Milwaukee Brewers but will have no time to let up.
The series at American Family Field was the start of a stretch of 10 straight games against a tough National League Central. The Pirates return home on Monday night for the start of a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals, which will be followed by three games with the division-leading Cincinnati Reds.
The Pirates are favored in Mondayâs homestand opener against the Cardinals according to the FanDuel Oddsmakers, but it will be a bit of an odd game.
Braxton Ashcraft was originally scheduled to start the game but will have his start pushed back after being placed on the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List. Instead, left-handed Mason Montgomery will be used as an opener for the second time this season and Wilber Dotel will follow in relief.
