The Pirates will look to even their series with the Marlins after dropping game 1, 6-4. The Pirates have lost 10 in a row and have tumbled down the standings in the NL Central. The Marlins have won six of their last eight games. The Pirates were winning last night 4-1 going into the eighth inning before the Marlins made a comeback to get the win. They will look to right the ship with Luis Ortiz taking the mound. He is 1-3 overall this season with a 4.30 ERA. The Pirates are 2-6 when Oritz makes an appearance this year. The Marlins will send Jesus Luzardo to the mound. He is 6-5 this season with a 4.09 ERA. The Marlins are 9-5 this year when Luzardo pitches. Ortiz's ERA jumps to 5.50 during road games. The Marlins have played and should do well off of Ortiz as they have the eighth-best hitting percentage. The Pirates have to show me they can beat any team right now let alone a good one.
