Pirates' starter Wil Crowe (1-4, 6.50 ERA) is getting roughed up in just about every start. His last outing was no different when he gave up four runs on eight hits (two homers) in five innings at St. Louis. The team has lost six of his last nine starts, covering the runline in only one of the losses.

Milwaukee right-hander Corbin Burnes (3-4, 2.53 ERA) is having a solid year, and he's 3-0 with a 3.19 ERA in 15 appearances (three starts) against the Pirates.
