The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to face off against the Milwaukee Brewers with hopes of continuing their power-hitting display from the previous night. The Brewers will be relying on rookie right-hander Tobias Myers to keep the Pirates’ hitters at bay, but it won’t be an easy task.
Myers, who has allowed 10 home runs in 64 innings this season, will be facing off against left-hander Martin Perez. Perez, who struggled in his last outing against the Brewers, will be looking to bounce back and help the Pirates secure another win.
In their previous game, the Pirates hit a total of five home runs, with Joey Bart’s grand slam being the highlight of the night. Manager Derek Shelton praised the team’s consistent at-bats and overall performance.
Pittsburgh also received a boost from pitcher Quinn Priester, who returned from the injured list and put up a solid performance on the mound. The win against the Brewers was much-needed for the Pirates, who have been looking to regain their momentum.
On the other hand, the Brewers are looking to bounce back after losing four of their last five games. Manager Pat Murphy emphasized the need to get back to their winning ways and maintain their lead in the National League Central.
Myers, who had a strong month of June, will be aiming to return to form after a tough outing against the Rockies. Perez, on the other hand, will be looking to build on his recent solid performance and get back in the win column.
For Tellez, facing his former team will be an added motivation as he continues his impressive run at the plate. His milestone 100th career home run was a testament to his offensive prowess and will be looking to add to his impressive stats.
As both teams prepare to face off once again, the stage is set for an exciting matchup between the power-hitting Pirates and the Brewers looking to bounce back. Fans can expect a thrilling game as both teams battle it out on the field.
