Cardinals Host Pirates Amid Injuries | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Cardinals end their losing streak with a win — perfect timing as they host the Pittsburgh Pirates this weekend. While they’ll avoid facing ace Paul Skenes, injuries plague St. Louis, thinning their roster. The Pirates, riding a win streak against the Padres, bring Jared Jones (recently shaky) and potential ace Braxton Ashcraft, with Saturday’s starter still uncertain. Both teams are neck-and-neck in the division, with St. Louis just 2 games ahead and 5.5 back from a Wild Card spot. Look for Pirates’ power duo Brandon Lowe and O’Neil Cruz to drive offense, while Cardinals hope Andre Pallante’s return and depth can spark a winning run despite Dobbins’ arm issue and Jordan’s likely season-ending ankle injury.
