The Pittsburgh Pirates face the Los Angeles Angels at PNC Park tonight at 6:45 p.m. ET. Konnor Griffin returns to the Pirates' active roster after missing nearly two months due to a left ring finger injury. The Pirates enter the matchup with a 69-72 record, sitting five games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final National League wild card spot. Pittsburgh has secured three consecutive series wins heading into this contest. On the mound, Ryan Johnson starts for the Angels, who hold the league's worst record at 53-87. Jared Jones takes the start for Pittsburgh, seeking to improve his performance following a 7.40 ERA throughout August. The Pirates' postseason aspirations remain contingent on the consistency of the starting rotation as the team attempts to track down the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres in the standings.
