Result: Loss
The Pittsburgh Pirates have won four of their last six while the Minnesota Twins have dropped four of their last five.

Pirates are 11-2 in their last 13 road games vs. a right-handed starter and Twins righty Jake Odorizzi (4-7, 4.50 ERA) gave up three runs on five hits and three walks across 4 1/3 innings against Pittburgh back in April. Twins are 1-6 in Odorizzi's last 7 starts vs. a team with a winning record.

Pirates righty Jameson Taillon (9-8, 3.63 ERA) is 7-4 with a 2.95 ERA since June 1 and has held opponents to three runs or less in each of his last 13 starts. Taillon notched his second complete game of the season his last time out as he held the Rockies to two runs in a 10-2 victory at Coors Field.

Taillon held Minnesota to a pair of runs with nine Ks through 5 1/3 frames of a 5-4 victory on April 2 in his season debut. This looks like another Pirates triumph.
