Marlins Lineup

1. SS Jazz Chisholm Jr.
2. CF Starling Marte
3. LF Corey Dickerson
4. 1B Jesús Aguilar
5. 2B Jon Berti
6. 3B Isan Díaz
7. C Sandy León
8. RF Magneuris Sierra
9. RHP Sandy Alcantara (2021 season stats: 3.68 ERA, 3.66 FIP, 23.8 K%, 39.5 HardHit% in 71.0 IP)

Baseball Savant

Notes: Since returning from the injured list, Jorge Alfaro owns a .250/.323/.500 slash line with a 29.0% strikeout rate (which is good compared to his career norms)...The well-rested pitchers available out of the Marlins bullpen (haven’t pitched in at least two days) are Ross Detwiler, Zach Pop and Zach Thompson.

Pirates Lineup

1. 2B Adam Frazier
2. 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes
3. CF Bryan Reynolds
4. 1B Colin Moran
5. RF Gregory Polanco
6. SS Erik González
7. LF Ben Gamel
8. C Michael Pérez
9. RHP Chad Kuhl (2021 season stats: 6.41 ERA, 6.75 FIP, 20.0 K%, 31.6 HardHit% in 19.2 IP)

Baseball Savant

Notes: Adam Duvall (3-for-12, .500 OPS) is the only active Marlins player with substantial head-to-head experience against Kuhl...Even though he has just five games under his belt so far this season, third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes could prove to be Trevor Rogers’ top challenger for the NL Rookie of the Year award...Adam Frazier leads MLB with 75 hits this season, but only two of those have cleared the fences.
