The St Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates will begin a three-game weekend series Friday night from PNC Park. The series will kick off with Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals, taking on Zach Thompson of the Pirates.
The Pirates haven’t gotten off to a banner start this season, but they’ve also been better than a lot of people expected, even with them sitting multiple games under .500.
The Cardinals have much higher expectations this year in what is expected to be Wainwright’s final MLB season. The veteran right-hander has been consistent again atop the Cardinals rotation through one month of the schedule.
