Current record: 68-59, 3rd place in NL Central, 8.0 games back
Up Next: St. Louis Cardinals, 70-57, 2nd place in NL Central, 6.0 games back
Season Series: 6-6 (1-2, 1-2, 2-1, 2-1)
Notes: This is the Pirates final series against the Cardinals. Pittsburgh needs to win some games, but taking them against St. Louis would be extra helpful. To make that happen, they’ll have to hit and pitch better than they have for the bulk of August.
