McCutchen grounded into fielder's choice, shortstop Lindor to second baseman Kipnis, N.Walker out.  S.Marte grounded into fielder's choice, shortstop Lindor to second baseman Kipnis, McCutchen out.  

The Pirates are 12-6 all-time in home games versus the Indians and are 5-1-0 in home series versus Cleveland all-time, with their only home series loss against Cleveland coming in their first ever home series versus the Indians (lost two of three home games versus the Indians from September 1-3, 1997).

The Pirates swept the Tigers in Detroit earlier this week, totaling 48 hits over the three-game series, their most in a road three-game series since totaling 48 hits in a three-game series at Colorado from May 11-13, 2004.

The Indians swept the Rays in Tampa Bay in a four-game series earlier this week, Cleveland's first four-game series sweep on the road since sweeping the Twins at Minnesota from September 26-29, 2013.

Andrew McCutchen has posted a .324 career batting average in interleague games, the fourth-highest batting average in interleague games among active players with at least 400 plate appearances in interleague play. However, McCutchen has recorded a .213 career batting average versus the Indians, his lowest career batting average versus any opponent he has at least 50 plate appearances against.

Among all players (active or not) with at least eight starts in interleague games, Trevor Bauer's 1.71 ERA in interleague play is the fifth lowest while his .1720 opponent batting average is the second lowest (David Cone -- .1718). Bauer has made four career starts versus NL Central teams, posting a 1.80 ERA and .159 opponent batting average over those four starts, but has never faced the Pirates.

Through four home starts this season, Charlie Morton is 4-0 with a 1.98 ERA. However, Morton allowed four runs (all earned) over six innings pitched in his last home start (June 27 versus the Braves) after allowing a total of two runs over his first three home starts of the season (in 21.1 innings pitched). Morton has not lost a home start since August 10, 2014 versus San Diego.

HP - Hamari, 1B - Hernandez, 2B - Gibson, 3B - Carlson

The Cleveland Indians' outstanding stretch of starting pitching is still going, but their winning streak isn't thanks to a fantastic performance from perhaps the Pittsburgh Pirates' worst starter.
Now they'll take their swings against one of baseball's best.

Indians-Pirates Preview

PITTSBURGH (AP)  A lack of efficiency with his pitches was the reason Jeff Locke failed to get past the fifth inning in his previous two starts despite giving up a combined three runs.
That wasn't a problem Saturday for the Pirates' left-hander, who retired his last 19 batters.
