Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman John Nogowski is not in the starting lineup on Thursday night against the Brewers. This looks to be just a night off for Nogowski, who has started 18 straight games for Pittsburgh since joining the team. He's been one of the hottest hitters in the game since landing with the Pirates, slashing .343/.410/.471 with one home run, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored over 18 games. With Nogowski out, Phillip Evans will make the start at first and bat seventh against Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta.
