Pittsburgh sends ace Gerrit Cole to the mound in search of his league-leading 15th win. Cole has had five quality starts in his last six outings, adding to that total a lackluster six-inning, three-run showing against the Dodgers on Friday. Cole walked three hitters for the first time since June 24th and his control was off. Look for him to be focused versus the Cards tonight.


For STL Wacha allowed two earned runs over 12 2/3 total innings in back-to-back outings against Pittsburgh in May. Look for the Pirates bats to get the best of him seeing him for the 3rd time this season. Pitt has been hitting the ball averaging 6.8 runs/game their last 5 games.
Play the Pittsburgh Pirates here on Wednesday night.
