The Pittsburgh Pirates today will play a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers after last night’s game was rained out. The Pirates dropped the opener 7-3. Andrew Heaney will get the ball for Pittsburgh in game one against Tarik Skubal. Game two will be Paul Skenes, while the Tigers haven’t announced a starter for game two. Due to today being the doubleheader, the roster expands to 27, and the Pirates are using that spot on outfielder Jack Suwinski. In 16 games with Pittsburgh this season, he’s hitting .128 with a .398 OPS. He has a double, an RBI, four runs scored, three stolen bases, and six walks. In 41 games at Triple-A Indianapolis, he’s hitting .264 with an .871 OPS. He has seven doubles, a triple, nine home runs, 36 RBI, 29 runs scored, four stolen bases, and 17 walks.
