Three things to know about this game
Jose Iglesias was placed on the bereavement list after a death occurred in his family on Sunday. The Tigers infielder could miss between the next three and seven days.

David Freese is hitting .500 (5-for-10) against Zimmermann in his career with two doubles, a home run and three RBIs.

Williams has made one career Interleague start. In June, the righty faced the Rays and allowed two runs on six hits through seven innings and struck out seven.

Notable
Despite a long tenure in the National League, Jordan Zimmermann has only started twice at PNC Park. His only win came with the Tigers in 2016.
Zimmermann threw seven shutout innings in his last start at New York five days ago.

Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutcheon has two hits in eight at-bats against Zimmermann. Both were home runs. David Freese is 5-for-10 with a home run and two doubles.

Tigers catcher John Hicks tied a career high with three hits on Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles. Many friends and family were visiting from his hometown of Goochland, which is about three hours away from Baltimore.

Infielder Jeimer Candelario will be making his debut in a Tigers uniform on Monday. He'll wear jersey No. 46.

Weather forecast
It will be rainy, overcast and cool in Pittsburgh on Monday. The rain is expected to taper off toward the evening, although passing showers are possible. High of 74.
 
So we brought up Candelario to sit the bench? I hate how we use young players.
 
I don't know if I've seen a Tigers game yet where Machado was playing and didn't make an error.
 
People's around here have broken out the lions gear in early Aug already

WORRIED MUCH MORE ABOUT HIS COUNTRY THAN HIS SEASON.

It's obvious it's having a major impact on his ability to focus tigers should really give him an extended period of personal time off

what's he supposed to do with time off?

Insuffiant


I'm more concerned with the year that our Leadoff hitter, 1st baseman and DH are having than what our mediocre 3rd baseman is having. The fact that this offense has scored as much as it has with Ian, Miggy and VMart being hot garbage is amazing.
 
6 innings of some of most boring baseball this year in the books onto the 7th
 
1-0 strike call on upton was terrible this ump sucks..Larry Vanover, another blind balls and strike caller

Trevor Williams 7 innings one hit doesn't get much more pathetic than that put the gimmic in!
