Padres-Pirates preview (Yahoo Sports)

After a few days of secrecy surrounding Pittsburgh's starter Tuesday when it hosts the San Diego Padres for the opening of a three-game series, the Pirates divulged that Chad Kuhl will be on the mound. Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington indicated that Kuhl could stick around and become a regular part of the rotation, at least for a stretch of time. Huntington probably wasn't intentionally heaping pressure on the 23-year-old right-hander to pitch well Tuesday, but what will be his fifth big-league start sets up as awfully important for his immediate future.
