NEW YORK (Interstat) — The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees meet Wednesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, with rain in the forecast and the simulation score favoring the visitors.

The game will start at 1:05 p.m. ET with a forecast of 80 degrees and rain. The Pirates (52-49) look to even the three-game series after falling 8-5 on Monday and seeing Tuesday’s contest suspended scoreless in the early innings.

Pittsburgh will start right-hander Mitch Keller (6-7, 4.02 ERA), who has not faced the Yankees this season. Keller will look to reverse a trend in which the Pirates have lost four of their last five games.

The Yankees (56-44) will counter with a starter to be announced. New York has won two straight and four of five, but the lineup will face a Pittsburgh bullpen that has been effective, highlighted by right-hander Wilber Dotel, who struck out five over three scoreless innings of relief Monday, allowing one hit.

Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. enters as a dangerous threat. He homered twice and drove in five runs Monday, going 2 for 4. Over his last 10 games, he has hit four home runs and driven in nine, batting .333.

Shortstop Esmerlyn Valdez and third baseman Jared Triolo produced the offense Monday for the Pirates, with Valdez homering and Triolo driving in two runs.

The simulation from Interstat projects a 6-5 Pirates victory. The Yankees, who lead the American League East, will look to bounce back behind a lineup that averages 5.2 runs per game at home.

Following Wednesday’s game, the Pirates return to Pittsburgh for a six-game homestand against the Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks. The Yankees travel to Philadelphia for a weekend series against the Phillies.

First pitch is set for 1:05 p.m. ET, with rain expected to persist throughout the game. Both clubs have bullpens well-rested and prepared for potential delays.
