Rox-Bucs game rained out; twin bill Saturday
Friday night's Rockies-Pirates opener at PNC Park was postponed due to inclement weather that was expected to continue throughout the remainder of the night.
The clubs will play a split seven-inning doubleheader Saturday beginning at 12:05 p.m. ET, with JT Brubaker taking the mound for the Pirates against Jon Gray. Brubaker, 3-4 with a 4.20 ERA this season, surrendered three homers and seven runs over 5 1/3 innings in his last start.
Pittsburgh will start Mitch Keller against Austin Gomber in the second game, which will start at 4:05 p.m., or approximately one hour following the conclusion of the opener. Keller has lost his last three outings, but the Pirates have won five straight against the Rockies and have gone 22-11 against Colorado since 2015.
Tickets for Friday night’s game will be valid for Saturday’s first game or any remaining home game during the 2021 season, subject to availability. For more information, visit pirates.com/raincheck.
