Trevor Williams and four relief pitchers shut down the Nationals, 2-0, yesterday afternoon at PNC Park. The win gave the Pirates two victories in the three-game set.
Starling Marte provided the only runs with a two-run homer.
The Bucs begin a five-game series with the first-place Brewers tonight at 7:05 p.m. Jameson Taillon will match up with Wade Miley. Pre-game begins at 6:40 p.m. on WCCS AM 1160 and 101.1 FM.
The Pirates will be without pitcher Chad Kuhl for another four weeks because of a strain in his right forearm/elbow. The Bucs do not anticipate he will need surgery.
