n ON DECK — Pittsburgh Pirates at Cleveland Indians.
n WHEN/WHERE — Today, 1:05 p.m., Progressive Field.
n TV/RADIO — STO, WYBL.
n ON THE MOUND — Right-hander Brad Lincoln (3-2, 3.15) for Pittsburgh; right-hander Jeanmar Gomez (4-5, 4.71) for Cleveland.
n TRIBE INJURIES — RHP Carlos Carrasco (right elbow), center fielder Grady Sizemore (back), LHP Rafael Perez (left side), DH Travis Hafner (right knee) on the DL.
n NOTEBOOK — The way Gomez has performed of late, it’s made most Wahoo fans hurlers, though in a different manner. It would appear to behoove Gomez to give a better effort today or don’t be surprised if Zack McAllister or David Huff is called up from Class AAA Columbus to take his spot in the rotation.
