The Pirates are 2-0-1 in their last three road series against the Diamondbacks, winning six of the 10 meetings between the clubs over this stretch.

Pittsburgh trailed the Cubs 4-1 entering the bottom of the sixth inning on Thursday, but rallied for a 5-4 victory. It was the first time this season that the Pirates won a game after trailing by 3+ runs in the sixth inning or later; prior to Thursday, the last time they did this was actually against the Diamondbacks; they trailed Arizona 4-0 entering the sixth inning in their August 1, 2014 contest, but came back to win, 9-4.

Opponents are batting .439 (29/66) with five home runs on 0-0 counts versus the Diamondbacks so far in 2015. The opponent home runs are tied for the most in the majors while the opponent BA ranks third highest.

A.J. Pollock is batting .522 (12/23) with seven runs scored this season when he bats No. 2 in the lineup, compared to just .233 (7/30) with five runs when he hits in any other spot in the order.

Gerrit Cole has given up 13 hits so far this season, with 11 of the 13 being singles. His .254 opponent slugging average is tied for seventh best among NL starting pitchers (minimum three starts) in 2015.

Josh Collmenter is coming off a four-hit shutout of the Giants on April 17. Both of his two career complete games have been shutouts, the other coming against the Reds (4-0), May 29, 2014. He is the first pitcher in franchise history to throw a shutout in each of his first two career complete games (with both CG coming with D-Backs).
