Philadelphia at Pittsburgh 1:35 ET
Pirates over Phillies- The Pirates have been floundering about the .500 mark too long and need to put some wins together is they are ever to catch the Dodgers, Marlins, Mets or Cardinals to qualify for a Wild-card spot. Sunday they will start rookie Jameson Taillon (2-1, 3.44 ERA) who was 'clocked' on the head with a line drive on Tuesday but managed to pitch six innings of one-run ball. Philadelphia will start their ace Vince Velasquez (8-2, 3.15) who has no record against Pittsburgh. The Phillies are just 1-7 in their last eight meetings in Pittsburgh. Take the PIRATES!
