In the middle game of the series, Texas right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (5-2, 2.83 ERA) is set to oppose Pittsburgh left-hander Rich Hill (4-3, 3.80 ERA).

Eovaldi has pitched at least five innings in each of his nine starts, has turned in six straight quality starts, and has allowed three earned runs or less in eight of those nine. He has 61 strikeouts against 10 walks.

And he's gotten seemingly stronger, going at least seven innings in four starts in a row.

Eovaldi had a streak of 29 2/3 scoreless innings - longest in the major leagues this season -- end his last time out on Eddie Rosario's two-run homer in the second as he did not get a decision Wednesday against Atlanta.

Eovaldi is 0-0 with a 10.80 ERA in three appearances, two of them starts, in his career against the Pirates.

Hill, at 43, is one of the veterans expected to provide leadership to young players like Marcano, but he is also contributing on the field. He is 4-1 with a 2.23 ERA over his past six starts. That includes a win Wednesday when he tossed six scoreless, one-hit innings with seven strikeouts against Detroit.
