Pirates pitcher Jeanmar Gomez is on track to start during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. Gomez is 1-0 with a 2.80 ERA in eight starts this season.
"We've got a plan we want to put in place against St. Louis," manager Clint Hurdle said Wednesday, per the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "We've got a guy in Jeanmar Gomez who's as good as any spot starter we could come up with. At this point of the season, we feel the continuity (of the regular starters) is important -- keep ‘em lined up and in a routine."
