PIT@MIL: Lohse gets Walker to strike out looking
PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates and Brewers, two of the Majors' least productive offensive clubs so far this season, will look to get on track Saturday night in the second game of their weekend set at PNC Park. Right-hander Kyle Lohse is set to take the ball for Milwaukee opposite Pittsburgh left-hander Jeff Locke.
Three things to know about this game:
• Locke defeated the Brewers at Miller Park on April 10, allowing two runs over six innings as the Pirates won, 6-2. The Bucs won eight of Locke's final nine starts at PNC Park last season as he went 4-1 with a 3.17 ERA during that stretch.
• Lohse carries an 0-2 record and 11.17 ERA into Saturday's start, but there are reasons for optimism. After an ugly season debut, Lohse allowed four runs over 6 1/3 innings his last time out. And he's fared well against the Pirates (11-4, 3.81 ERA) throughout his career.
• With Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez sidelined at least two or three weeks by a strained right hamstring, shortstop Jean Segura has started the last two games in the leadoff spot.
