And now, the lineups…
Blue Jays
Let's even up the series! Here is our lineup pres. by @MajesticOnField. atmlb.com/2otPGEX
Chris Rowley: (AA-AAA) 2.29 ERA, 106.1 IP, 7.1 H9, 0.5 HR9, 2.0 BB9, 7.6 SO9
Pirates
Here's the lineup with Trevor on the hill. 📺 @ATTSportsNetPIT 📻 @937theFan & the PRN #LetsGoBucs
Trevor Williams: 4.17 ERA, 105.2 IP, 8.8 H9, 0.8 HR9, 2.6 BB9, 6.5 SO9
Despite not striking out a ton of batters, Williams has done a good job of keeping the ball in the park this year. He’ll face off against Chris Rowley, who is making his major league debut just two years removed from a stint in the US Army. Rowley has been having a phenomenal year in double and triple A and will look to continue that success in the show.
