ON THE BUMP: Tonight marks the 15th start of the season for Jameson Taillon and his ninth since returning to the mound following testicular cancer surgery on May 8...He has won two of his last three starts at PNC Park, where he has gone 3-2 with a 3.79 ERA (38.0ip/16er) in seven starts this season...taillon has posted a 3.20 ERA (104.0ip/37er) in 18 career starts on his home turf and a 2.25 ERA (12.0ip/3er) in two career starts vs. Cincinnati in Pittsburgh. RIDIN HIGH: In 50 games since June 1, Andrew McCutchen has batted.367 with a.470 OBP, while also producing a Major League-leading OPS, the highest for a Pirates player over a 50-game span over the past five seasons according to the Elias Sports Bureau...McCutchen homered three times Sunday afternoon in San Diego - his third career three-homer game... Only Hall-of-Famers Ralph Kiner and Willie Stargell (four each) have produced more in team history.

THE CINCINNATI KID: Bucco All-Star and Cincinnati native Josh Harrison is hitting.326 (14-for-43) with five multi-hit efforts in his last 1s...In his six games played against the Reds this season, JHay has gone 8-for-22 (.364) with a double, three home runs and five RBI (he homered twice on 5/1 at Great American Ball Park and again the next day)...over the last two seasons, Harrison is hitting.329 (25-for-76) with six homers and 13 RBI against the Reds. WANNA BE STARTING SOMETHING: Among all Major League teams this season, the Pirates have used the fewest amount of starting pitchers (six)...in addition to the current five-man rotation, RHP Tyler Glasnow made 12 starts with the team before being sent to the minors on June 10...The Bucs used a total of 14 different starting pitchers last season...the club record for fewest starting pitchers used in one season is seven (1902, 1972 and 1997).
