"Smith to debut vs. Locke as Reds, Bucs open set
By Tom Singer / MLB.com | + 6 COMMENTS
Citing the need to give Johnny Cueto some additional rest, the Reds pushed their ace back to Friday after he was originally slated to start Tuesday's opener vs. the Pirates at PNC Park. In Cueto's place will be right-hander Josh Smith, who will be making his Major League debut. Southpaw Jeff Locke will be on the hill for the Pirates.
The Bucs were on a 21-5 roll prior to getting swept out of Washington over the weekend, but they were in an offensive funk long before bottoming out in Max Scherzer's no-hitter on Saturday. Entering Sunday afternoon's game, the Pirates had scored 33 runs in their previous 13 games (one-third of those in an 11-0 blowout) while winning nine of them on the strength of fabulous pitching.
Locke is coming off consecutive quality starts to oppose Smith in the opener of a six-game homestand. He has four quality starts in his eight outings against the Reds, but has not defeated them since July 21, 2013.
Three things to know about this game:
• The Pirates have reason to hope they will get well at home, as they have won 14 of their last 18 at PNC Park.
• The Reds' Todd Frazier could be looking on this series as his own perfect storm. He is on fire anyway (23-for-60 with 14 RBIs in 14 games prior to Sunday), and always burns the Pirates (four homers already this season, 16 lifetime).
• Pittsburgh pitchers have gone 60 consecutive innings at PNC Park without allowing a home run.
