Pirates vs Tigers Showdown Tonight | Detroit Tigers News

Pirates and Tigers square off again tonight at PNC Park after Detroit edged them 8-5 yesterday — despite a late Pirates rally. Nick Yorke lit up the box score with 3 RBI, continuing his hot streak (8 RBIs in 7 games) after a sluggish start. The win ends Detroit’s three-game skid (61-64) while Pittsburgh snaps its own skid (61-66). Braxton Ashcraft (12-5, 3.82 ERA) takes the mound for the Bucs, facing Keider Montero (9-7, 3.22 ERA) of the Tigers — who are slight favorites but beware: these teams are neck-and-neck and the Pirates have proven they can score when it matters most.
