Also, Jack Suwinski is being recalled to the Major League roster from AAA Indianapolis for the first time since July 14 against the Miami Marlins, so how does his return impact the Pirates lineup offensively?

Finally, the Pirates and Brewers square off for what feels like the 100th time this season in Milwaukee, the final series of the season between the NL Central foes. Can the Pirates head to Milwaukee and upset the Brewers?

All of that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates.
