The Pittsburgh Pirates play their first game Friday night since the organization decided to dismiss manager Derek Shelton on the off-day Thursday.
The Pirates move forward when they welcome to the Atlanta Braves to PNC Park for a three-game series. Manager Don Kelly steps to helm looking to steer Pittsburgh back on track, particularly with the bats. Bailey Falter gets the ball as the Pirates look to start 1-0 under Kelly.
Here’s how Pittsburgh lines up in Kelly’s debut:
Oneil Cruz, CF
Bryan Reynolds, RF
Andrew McCutchen, DH
Joey Bart, C
Ke’Bryan Hayes, 3B
Matt Gorski, 1B
Adam Frazier, 2B
Tommy Pham, LF
