Pirates vs. Brewers Stops for Rain Delay

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates and Milwaukee Brewers had to stop their game for a rain delay at PNC Park.

The Pirates trail the Brewers, 5-3, and had both center fielder Oneil Cruz on third base and designated hitter Andrew McCutchen on first base with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The umpires eventually decided that the game needed a delay, with rain coming down, and the Pirates groundscrew came out and got he tarp over the infield.

The Pirates gave an update and said that it would restart at 10:00 p.m.

This marks the fifth rain delay for the Pirates this season, all coming during the month of May, but the first game that had a rain delay during it taking place, as the previous four saw the first pitch start time move up.

Pittsburgh had back-to-back rain delays against the San Diego Padres at PNC Park on May 2 and May 3.

The first rain delay moved the start from 6:40 to 7:50, a 70 minute delay, and the second game got moved from 4:05 p.m. to 5:45 p.m., an hour and 40 minute delay.

The Pirates also had two rain delays on their recent road trip. They had a 15 minute delay vs. the New York Mets at Citi Park on May 14, moving first pitch from 7:10 p.m. to 7:25 p.m., and an hour and 45 minute delay vs. the Philadelphia Phillies on May 16, which moved first pitch from 6:45 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Pittsburgh is 1-3 in their rain delay games this season, as they lost both games vs. the Padres and 8-3 to the Phllies, while winning 4-1 against the Mets.

This marks the first meeting between the Pirates and Brewers this season and the Pirates have now played all their opponents in the National League Central Division.

Milwaukee is 24-26 overall and fourth in the NL Central, six games behind the Chicago Cubs in first place and four games behind the San Diego Padres for the final NL Wild Card spot.

Rookie Pittsburgh Steelers running back surprisingly out against Lions

DETROIT — The Pittsburgh Steelers have made rookie running back Kaleb Johnson a surprise inactive against the Detroit Lions. They have just three running backs on the roster, and some other players who could end up playing at running back if injuries arise is Connor Heyward or Jonnu Smith.

Meanwhile, the Steelers will still be without wide receiver Roman Wilson, who has been made inactive the last three weeks after the additions of Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the room. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that Scotty Miller’s ability to be a backup punt returner is one of the key reasons he is active over Wilson.

As for injuries, there is nothing unexpected there. Outside linebackers T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig were ruled out. Jack Sawyer, a rookie out of Ohio State, will make his first career start.

Cornerback James Pierre will miss his second straight game with a calf injury. Asante Samuel Jr. will fill in for him, and he nabbed a pick against the Dolphins a week ago. The Steelers elevated Daryl Porter Jr. to give them some depth.

Guard Isaac Seumalo is sidelined with a triceps strain. With him out, the Steelers will turn to Spencer Anderson to start there.

Quarterback Will Howard will continue to serve as the emergency third quarterback.
