The Pirates made three lineup changes, as they adjust to Rockies left-handed pitcher Kyle Freeland, bringing in two right-handed batters. Alexander Canario comes in at center field for Jack Suwinski and bats seventh for the Pirates and Liover Peguero takes over at first base in place of Spencer Horwitz and bats eighth.

Antonio Senzatela (4-14, 7.00 ERA) has largely had a 2025 to forget, but turned in one of his best starts of the season a few days ago against the Arizona Diamondbacks when he threw five innings of shutout ball. He’ll look to turn in similar results against the Pirates, who torched him for a season-high-tying eight earned runs on August 1st.
