Sunday, May 22nd, your Pittsburgh Pirates (16-23) will try and salvage one game in the series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals (22-18). Starting game three for the Pirates will be Bryse Wilson (0-2, 5.67 ERA). Wilson will square off against lefty Steven Matz (3-3, 6.03 ERA). First pitch at PNC Park is set for 11:35 a.m.
