Update (8:51 AM)- 

**History was made last night in MLB and it’s a sign of baseball in 2021.

UPDATE (8:19 a.m.) 

Pirates top prospect Nick Gonzales remains hot at the plate as he hits another home run last night.

UPDATE (8:10 a.m.)

The game was bad, but this home run from Hoy Park (his first in the Majors) was good.

In case you missed it, here’s the Pittsburgh Baseball Now mission statement. We’re excited to be here talking Bucco baseball with you all.

Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their brief three-game homestand against the St. Louis Cardinals before hitting the road again to face the Brew Crew in Milwaukee.

Game two against the hated Cardinals will feature Wil Crowe (Pirates) and the 2,457,589-year-old Adam Wainwright. (I may be off a year or two.) The Pirates have a 41-72 record, while the Cardinals are exactly .500 at 56-56. First pitch is 7:05. You can listen on 93.7 The Fan or watch on AT&T Sportsnet.

The Gamblin’ Man  

For any of you that enjoy gambling, your Pirates are +148 underdogs with an over/under of 9. (If it were me, I’d take the over, but I’m not much of a gambler).

BUT THAT WEATHER THO! 

Thanks to the handy dandy weather app, we will see a chance of rain all the way up until 5 PM. By game time, it should be around 86 degrees and should have clear skies for potential cannonballs.
