That much is known.After a day off Monday, the two season-long starters, Francisco Liriano and Gerrit Cole, are slated to pitch against the visiting Mariners Tuesday and Wednesday.Beyond that?We have Taillon (Sunday), Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. Weve got Liriano and Cole through Seattle, and after that well get back to you.Promising rookie Tyler Glasnow left his second career start in the fourth inning Saturday with right shoulder discomfort.Chad Kuhl, another touted prospect, made his big league debut last month.

I know he had four walks, but he wasnt all over the place, and he had a great changeup today and he had velocity on his fastball with movement.Velasquez allowed a run on three hits in seven innings, using 105 pitches. He struck out five. It was the first time he made it through the seventh since a 16-strikeout complete game shutout April 14, a 3-0 win against San Diego.I was pretty much refreshed, Velasquez told CSNPhilly. No need to hold anything back.Velasquez now recorded three straight quality starts. He has allowed five runs in 24 innings (four starts) since returning from the disabled list on June 27.Hes recorded 25 strikeouts with eight walks in that span. ' ' '
