Throughout history there have been many epic battles. David vs. Goliath. Rocky vs. Apollo Creed. Boxers vs Briefs.
Add Pittsburgh Pirates to St. Louis Cardinals to that mix.
Tonight the Pirates enter Busch Stadium to face their NL Central rivals in a three-game set. The Bucs are trailing the Cardinals by five games for the division title. With only nine games left versus the Cardinals, each one carries extreme importance, and this series is no exception. Simply put, the Pirates can’t win the division this series, but by all accounts they can lose it. Such is the importance of this series.
