Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Pittsburgh: Gerrit Cole (11-9, 3.93 ERA) Milwaukee: Brent Suter (2-2, 3.55 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Gerrit Cole goes for the Pirates tonight and he is coming off a great last outing where he did not give up any runs and only allowed two hits, but got no help from the lineup in a 1-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs. He was not sharp in his previous outing giving up five earned runs in a Pittsburgh loss, but in two of his last three starts he has not given up any earned runs. The Pirates won Cole’s first three starts against the Brewers, but in his last one on August 16th he gave up four earned runs in six innings in a 7-6 Pittsburgh loss. While the Pirates have lost four of Cole’s last five starts they have won eight of his last nine road starts.

<p>
Brent Suter gets the nod for the Brewers in this division match up and his last appearance came out of the bullpen where he did not give up any runs and gave up two hits in one inning in a 7-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. In his only start of the season against the Pirates he went four innings and gave up two earned runs in a 4-2 Milwaukee loss. The Brewers have won four of Suter’s last five home starts and he has been used as a starter and reliever this season with his last two appearances coming out of the bullpen.
