Rangel Gets First Start of 2026 for Phillies vs. Pirates
Philadelphia turns to Allen Rangel for the series finale, marking his first starting assignment of the season against Pittsburgh.
The Phillies will start Allen Rangel in the final game of a four-game series against the Pirates on July 2, 2026. It is Rangel's first start of the season. Pittsburgh counters with Jared Jones, who is making his seventh start but has struggled with pitch depth, reaching five innings only once in six outings. The Pirates bullpen is expected to carry a heavier load given Jones's recent workload patterns.
