PITTSBURGH -- Randy Dobnak (1-1, 1.00 ERA) is starting tonight for the Twins against the Pirates at PNC Park (6:10, FSN) and don't forget you can watch along with the Dobnak family here.

Dobnak gets his third start of the season; he's taking Jake Odorizzi's spot in the rotation while Odorizzi recovers from a sore back.

The Twins won the first two of a four-game series against the Pirates at Target Field, and now the interleague series switches to the Steel City.
