Houser tabbed for series opener vs. Pirates

Adrian Houser returns to the scene of his season debut on Friday, when the Brewers open a three-game series against the Pirates at PNC Park at 6:05 p.m. CT. In a July 27 start in Pittsburgh, Houser endured a rain delay of nearly two hours in the middle of an effective five-inning stint that led to a no-decision. The Brewers are 3-1 in his starts so far this season. The Pirates will counter with fellow right-hander Chad Kuhl. Watch the action live on MLB.TV.
