The first game of the series between the Pirates and Guardians was postponed due to poor air quality caused by the wildfires in Canada, which have carried smoke into the United States. Therefore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland will play a doubleheader on Saturday at Progressive Field, with the evening game maintaining its original schedule.
In the first game of the day, Williams will start for the Guards, but for the later game, they have decided to call up left-hander Logan Allen. Meanwhile, the Pirates announced Braxton Ashcraft as their starter. The Pittsburgh right-hander has been alternating between notable outings and disastrous ones; in his last outing against the Brewers, he allowed five earned runs in five innings.
The Pirates' balance leading up to the All-Star break is positive, as they entered it with their best record at that point in the last 10 years, improving their record to 50-47 after sweeping the division-leading Brewers.
