Tony Gonsolin makes his 2021 debut for the Dodgers on Wednesday night at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, just activated off the injured list earlier in the day. Left-hander Tyler Anderson starts for the Pirates.
The only Dodgers with more home runs against left-handed pitching than the three hit by Albert Pujols (in 30 plate appearances) are Max Muncy (five) and Chris Taylor (four).
For the second straight night at PNC Park, there is a weather delay. Tuesday’s series opener started 30 minutes late due to rain, and Wednesday’s delay figures to be more than double that, with the scheduled 4:05 p.m. PT first pitch moved to 5:15 p.m. PT, roughly.
