PITTSBURGH – Corbin Burnes moves up a day in the rotation and starts Tuesday afternoon’s series opener against the Red Sox in Boston.
The Orioles are flip-flopping Burnes and Cole Irvin, who’s bumped back to Wednesday night. Grayson Rodriguez starts Thursday night before the club returns home.
Burnes would have worked on six days’ rest if he remained on his normal turn.
Today’s lineup in Pittsburgh is a duplicate from yesterday, with the same names and order. James McCann is catching. Jordan Westburg is playing third base. Jorge Mateo is at second.
Manager Brandon Hyde hadn't written out the exact same lineups - names and positions - in consecutive games since Aug. 5-6, 2022 against the Pirates.
Dean Kremer made his season debut against the Royals on Monday and allowed three runs and three hits in 5 1/3 innings. He shut out the Pirates on four hits over 6 1/3 innings in 2022 at Camden Yards.
The Pirates are starting another left-hander, Marco Gonzales, who held the Nationals to one run in five innings earlier in his first outing. He’s made four career starts against the Orioles and allowed 13 runs and 23 hits in 19 2/3 innings.
Tony Kemp is 6-for-15 against Gonzales.
