The Pirates and Cardnals begin a series friday night at PNC Park.

Paul Maholm goes for the Bucs against Chris Carpenter.

In his career, Carpenter is 10-1 in 12 starts vs the Pirates with an ERA of 2.06

The Pirates have been struggling at the plate. The Pirates have been struggling with their pitching…err yeah, The Pirates have just been nit so good.

Andrew McCutchen has been very good, and he continues to be a bright spot for the team.
McCutchen is hitting .296 for the Pirates. He plays an exceptional centerfield and his base running has been even better than expected.
The Cards bring a very formidable line up that has players like Ryan Ludwick, Matt Holiday and Albert Pujols.

St. Louis has won five of nine versus the Pirates this year, but dropped two of three when the clubs met in Pittsburgh on May 12-14.

It could be a long weekend at PNC park.
