THE SETUP
Taillon will make his first Grapefruit League start after pitching in simulated games so far this spring. This is the first of three scheduled starts before he pitches the opener against the Reds on March 28 at Cincinnati.
Also expected to pitch for the Pirates, who have lost five games in a row, are Jordan Lyles, Michael Feliz and Tyler Lyons.
Gonsalves, a rookie, has allowed two runs in five innings this spring.
Just a reminder: This file will not be as updated nearly as frequently as during regular-season games for a couple of reasons. One is that press box space is limited in most spring training facilities and reporters often aren't able to see the entire field, if at all. Second, players are available for interviews once they leave the game, meaning I will often be in the clubhouse at mid-game. Check the links above for play-by-play.
