Tune in at 8:15 PM ET as the Pirates take on the Cardinals. Twitter will be providing updates on all the action.
James McDonald had allowed 10 first-inning runs in his past six starts. Good start for McDonald. #Pirates
Score 1 for Pirates scouting. 2B Mercer in perfect position for DP ball, Holliday groundout #stlcards #mlb
Jmac is pitching a lot better this game than he has the last couple starts...about damn time #mlb #pirates #letsgobucs
Greer Stadium is housing lots of #STLCards hats/jerseys tonight on Pujols Family Founation night #PFF
Well, so far it looks like the Cardinals haven't bounced back from last nights loss. #stlcards
With bases loaded & no outs, pitch gets away from #Cruz..runner scores runners advance..With #McCutchen on 3rd & #Jones on 2nd no outs..
You've got to be kidding me. This is like playing the 2009 #Pirates
#Pirates fans remember - Regardless of what happens in this inning, JMac blew a 6-RUN LEAD just a few outings ago...no lead is safe!
actually it's a pretty pathetic top of the 4th inning... #stlcards #CATCHTHEBALL
Clint Barmes is on deck, top of inning 4. Today: 0-1. Season: .220 AVG, .564 OPS #ClintBarmesIsOnDeck #PiratesOnDeck #Pirates
Inning #4. PIT scored 2 runs. Score: PIT: 2, STL: 0 #cardinals #pirates #mlb
Since the first inning, it's been obvious that Jake Westbrook and backup catcher Tony Cruz have had a hard time getting on the same page.
I didn't know I was watching a little league baseball game tonight. #stlcards
Give Jake Westbrook some credit. Pitched around passed ball and error in the fourth to limit damage and has kept Cardinals in the game.
I think I would have gotten thrown out after that call too. #STLCards
How bad is it when our 3b coach has to be the guy who's had enough. Jose gets tossed. Rest of our guys need to wake the heck up! #stlcards
I love our Secret Weapon. Kickin dirt...lets get fired up already. #STLCards
So I guess #STLCards should send the fellas up there with 8 foot bats. NO way anyone could've hit that pitch #Shenanigans
The Secret Weapon is about to blow! Oquendo goes Pinella on the plate and tries to bury it! #STLCards
Jose is the man! That strike zone is bullshit! #STLCards
Jose Oquendo ejected for the 3rd time as a coach (02, 08, tonight). He was ejected just once in his playing career. #STLcards #SecretWeapon
On the coca cola deck, just saw oquendo get thrown out. And I have no idea what the heck Just happened. #help #stlcards
You know the umpire sucks when Jose Oquendo argues! #ComeOnMan #STLCards #CardinalNation
Well, we've said all along J-Mac takes after A.J. Kemp & Mattingly yesterday, Oquendo today. #Pirates just rile up the other guys.
If you play the #Pirates about now, odds are someone is getting ejected.
The Pirates strike zone has been squeezed for 19 years. Other teams are losing their minds with this new reality. #Pirates
Thanks for letting vent. Carry on with your Friday night activities. #stlcards
G.I. Jones is becoming quite a player this season #Pirates
#GIJones is on fire! Making crucial plays and swinging the bat well! #pirates #bobwalk
I love the #UmpShow when they are tossing folks from the opposing team and giving the #Pirates all the calls.
Garrett Jones diving stop and flip to James McDonald is a DEFINITE #SCTop10 @ESPN
The antic begin, another manager thrown out. Seems like a tread these days #Cardinals #Pirates
Garrett Jones with the full extension diving stop for the 3-1 put out at 1st #Pirates
It should be called free shirt friday for anyone who wears a meduim even though it says xl. #pirates
In what should be considered the best development of the night for the #STLCards, James McDonald is now out of the game for #Pirates.
This is the #Pirates locker on display at the Baseball hall of Fame in Cooperstown!! Picture of Cutch with Barmes' jersey!! HE MADE IT!
There's the Clint Barmes I know - inning ending double play AND an inability to move the runner up with no outs! #Pirates
Glad to see @JamesZ53 have a great start! 7ks #zoltan #pirates
#Pirates Alex Dickerson hit his 12th Home Run at High-A Bradenton
Derek Lilliquist now searching for his jersey or his bowling shirt in case another ejection forces him to take the field. #stlcards
Since Barmes hit a GS a week ago he can settle in his role as the most frustrating player on the #Pirates
We saw good James McDonald again: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K. That should be enough to stay in the rotation. Cool. #Pirates
Really good stuff from J-Mac tonight. Line: 6IP, 2H, 0R, 3BB, 7K. 87 pitches, 54 strikes. Navarro PH'ing in the 7th. #pirates
#Pittsburgh #Pirates need to score 3 more runs so I can get 50% off at #PapaJohns
