Nick Kingham was slated to pitch for the Pirates but was replaced by Rookie Davis. Rookie Davis should be a better option than Kingham. There will be a need for the Pirates bullpen, but the crux of the outcome of this game is that the Pirates have the blueprint for nailing Woodruff. It seems that way to me at least. Woodruff wasn't injured or didn't have some flu bug or something else in his last outing which was against the Pirates. Woodruff allowed 6 runs on 10 hits in 4 innings of work. I think facing the same team so quickly doesn't really allow for adjustments for Woodruff. Look at the Dodger game on April 10th in LA , then the Dodgers on April 21st and you'll see Woodruff allowed 4 runs , then 5 runs to that same team. I think we have something similar going on here. The Pirates should've won that last game against Woodruff, but didn't. Why? Because Keston Huira got a game tying homerun late in the game to put the game into extra innings. So, why can't that happen again? It can't happen again because Keston Huira, was sent down to the minors for Travis Shaw. That's right, the Brewers messed with the good chemistry the team had and brought back a guy that has been hitting under .200 for the season. Another point to consider for the Pirates winning is that they hit Guerra, Jeffress, and Hadr last time out. Not to mention Jeffress and Hadr were used yesterday just to lock down a victory against Miami.

No SIR Mil bats will be the difference not pitching match ups??
By "Milwaukee bats" , you must be including Travis Shaw. Shaw started out with 2 hits in his first game back, but then went 0 for 4 in game 2. His season average is .169. Shaw also committed an error on his first game back that allowed 2 runs to score against the Brewers. I'm not saying Rookie Davis is Cy Young, I'm just saying the Pirate bats have a known path to success that is easy to repeat. The Brewers , can hit Rookie Davis, but I don't think they have him figured out right out of the gates like the Pirates have Woodruff figured out.
